Teen Revenge Kills Over Being “Disrespected” ?! | The Diol-Beye Family

On August 5, 2020, a house fire at 5312 North Truckucky Street in Denver resulted in the deaths of five Senegalese immigrants: Djibril Diol (29), his wife Adja Diol (23), their one-year-old daughter Kadidia, Djibril's sister Hassan Diol (25), and her seven-month-old daughter Hawa. Three other family members (Amadou, Hawaka, and their 10-year-old daughter) miraculously escaped by jumping from a second-story window, sustaining severe injuries.

The fire occurred in the early morning hours; first responders found the victims deceased from smoke inhalation, with internal organs described as 'cherry red' from heat. The medical examiner noted all victims were awake and attempting to escape before succumbing.

Initial investigation yielded little, but a neighbor's security camera captured three masked figures with gas cans entering and fleeing the house shortly before the fire erupted. Investigators employed a 'tower dump' warrant to gather cell phone data from the area and a controversial reverse Google keyword search for the address. This led them to Kevin Bui, Gavin Seymour, and Dylan Seabert, all teenagers, who had searched the address and whose phones were in the vicinity.

Noe Resza Jr., a neighbor, provided security footage showing three hooded, masked figures with gas cans. Agent Mark Sonnencker of the ATF specialized in digital forensics, using a tower dump (initially focusing on T-Mobile numbers) and later a Google warrant for search histories. Dylan Seabert had searched 'Party City,' where masks matching those in the footage were sold.

The motive for the arson was Kevin Bui's desire for revenge. A month before the fire, Bui had been robbed of his phone, cash, and expensive sneakers during a gun deal. He used the 'Find My Friends' app on his iPad to track his stolen phone, which inaccurately pinged its location at the Diol-Beye family's address. Believing the residents were his robbers, Bui recruited his friends, Gavin and Dylan, to set the house on fire.

Kevin Bui admitted to being robbed and using 'Find My Friends' to locate his phone. He messaged Gavin, '#possiblyruinourfuturesandburnhishousedown.' The host explains the inaccuracy of location tracking apps, citing other instances of misidentified locations.

Despite the horrific outcome, the teenagers displayed a notable lack of remorse. They continued their normal lives, posting on social media about camping and trips, even after knowing five people had died. Kevin Bui, the ringleader, continued to engage in drug trafficking while in jail awaiting trial.

The boys posted on social media, showing 'adventures, going camping, golfing, even going to Cancun, just smiling as if they weren't murderers.' Kevin Bui was later charged with dealing fentanyl from jail.

Kevin Bui, Gavin Seymour, and Dylan Seabert all took plea deals. Kevin received 60 years for two counts of second-degree murder, Gavin 40 years for one count of second-degree murder, and Dylan, tried as a juvenile, received 10 years. The victims' surviving family members expressed deep dissatisfaction, stating that the sentences did not equate to justice for the five lives lost.

Kevin Bui pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder and was sentenced to 60 years. Gavin pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree murder and received 40 years. Dylan, tried as a juvenile, received 10 years. A family member stated, 'What we got today is not justice. It is just just this.'
