A Colorado man accused of setting a house fire that killed five members of a Senegalese family in 2020 in a case of misplaced revenge was set to appear in court Friday to enter a plea.

This week’s Insider Deals are so good you’ll want all of themFILE - Investigators stand outside a house where five immigrants from Senegal were found dead after a fire in suburban Denver on Aug. 5, 2020. A man accused of setting a house fire that killed five members of a Senegalese family in 2020 in a case of misplaced revenge was set to appear in court Friday, May 17, 2024, to enter a plea.

In March, Gavin Seymour, 19, was sentenced to 40 years in prison after pleading guilty to one count of second-degree murder. The investigation of the fire dragged on for months without any leads. Surveillance video showed three suspects wearing full face masks and dark hoodies. Fears that the blaze had been a hate crime led many Senegalese immigrants to install security cameras at their homes in case they could also be targeted.
