Man who sought revenge for a stolen phone pleads guilty to fire that killed a Senegalese family of 5
A Colorado man has pleaded guilty to murder charges for starting a 2020 house fire that killed five members of a Senegalese family out of misplaced revenge for a stolen iPhone. Twenty-year-old Kevin Bui pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder on Friday. He has been portrayed by prosecutors as the ringleader of three friends who started the Aug. 5, 2020, fire in the middle of the night in a Denver neighborhood. Police say Bui believed the people who had recently robbed him lived in the home after mistakenly tracking his stolen iPhone there using an app.
