Masked Suspects Sought In Denver House Fire That Killed 5 Family Members, Including 2 Kids

[Satanica]

Police in Denver released a surveillance photo Tuesday of three people in full face masks who are suspected of starting a house fire that killed five family members, including an infant and a 2-year-old.

The Aug. 5 fire killed Djibril Diol, 29, and Adja Diol, 23, and their 2-year-old daughter, Khadija, as well as Djibril’s sister, Hassan Diol, 25, and her infant daughter, Hawa Baye, according to NBC Denver affiliate KUSA.

Three people who were also inside the house at the time of the blaze were able to escape by jumping from the second floor, KUSA reported.

“The fire appeared to be deliberately set by three unknown individuals wearing dark hoodies and full-face masks who fled the area in a dark colored 4-door sedan,” the police wrote in a statement asking for help identifying the individuals.

A $14,000 reward is being offered for information that might lead to the suspects.

The victims were members of Denver's Sengalese community, and local and national Muslim leaders called on the police last week to investigate the fire as a hate crime, according to Religion News Service.

A GoFundMe for the family described him as "a young man with a promising future" in civil engineering who "has left behind a community that he so deeply loved and cared for." He was working on a project reconstructing a portion of Interstate 70 in the Denver area, according to KUSA.

Senegal's consul general flew to Denver from New York in the fire's aftermath at the request of his country's leader to meet with the victims' family, according to The Associated Press. The president of Senegal, Macky Sall, tweeted his condolences to the family.

The best thing is there are 3 of these masked fucks. One of them will likely fuck up and get them all caught.

And with a bounty on their heads, someone is going to turn these fuckers in. Remember what Benjamin Franklin once said. Three can keep a secret when two of them are dead.

Police in Denver, Colorado say they finally know who started a house fire that killed a family of five on August 5, 2020, but they’re not saying much more about the case. Chief Paul M. Pazen announced the arrests of three teenaged boys in a press conference on Wednesday.

The defendants are two 16-year-olds and a 15-year-old. Police argue they are the ones responsible for the deaths of Djibril and Adja Diol, their 2-year-old daughter Khadija, and Hassan Diol and her infant daughter Hawa Baye.

Citing the age of the defendants and the need to protect integrity of the prosecution, Pazen repeatedly skirted and declined questions about the specifics of the case. He would not even spell out if the three masked suspects in the image above where the same as the three teens. The chief made one thing clear, however: as far as investigators know, there’s no evidence of this being an incident involving bias. The victims were all immigrants from Senegal, and a local civil rights organization originally questioned whether the incident could have been a hate crime.

BUI, KEVIN

Est. Parole Eligibility Date: 03/18/2065

Est Mandatory Release Date: 3/18/2080

July 2, 2024

Denver District Attorney Beth McCann today announced that Judge Karen Brody has sentenced Kevin Bui to 60 years in prison. Bui pleaded guilty on May 17 to two counts of second-degree murder.

On August 5, 2020, Bui and two other young men — Gavin Seymour and Dillon Siebert — set fire to a house in Green Valley Ranch. Five people inside the house died in the fire, including a young mother and her infant daughter, as well as a young couple and their one year-old daughter.

“As the ringleader of this deeply disturbing and utterly senseless crime, Kevin Bui deserved exactly what he received today: the longest sentence of the three defendants in the case. Were it not for his actions, five completely innocent victims would still be alive today. It is my hope that his sentence will bring some measure of comfort and a sense of justice to the victims’ families and friends. I want to thank the prosecutors, investigators, victim advocates and legal secretaries in my office, as well as the detectives with the Denver Police Department and the members of the Denver Fire Department and the ATF, whose outstanding work on the case resulted in a successful outcome,” said DA McCann.
