Deadly Colorado Arson a Case of Mistaken Identity
The suspects being charged, 16-year-old Gavin Seymour, 16-year-old Kevin Bui, 23-year-old Tanya Bui, and an unidentified 15-year-old allegedly targeted the wrong house when setting it ablaze.
According to new findings, the suspects started the fire as a retaliation attempt on associates that have been identified as drug dealers because of a drug deal gone wrong. However, new findings have shown that the victims, a married couple consisting of 29-year-old Djibril Diol, his wife 23-year-old Adja Diol, their young daughter one-year-old Khadija Diol, family member 25-year-old Hassan Diol, as well as her daughter, 7-month-old Hawa Baye, were not, in fact, the people targeted by the arsonists.
