19-year-old sentenced in 2020 Denver arson case that killed 5 family members

Gavin Seymour will serve 40 years in prison following Friday's sentencing

One of the three teenagers convicted of starting a house fire in the wrong home, killing a family of five, will serve 40 years in prison for second-degree murder.

"This is the worst and most senseless murder I've ever investigated," Denver Police Department Detective Neil Baker said at the sentencing on Friday.

Gavin Seymour, now 19 years old, was sentenced by Judge Karen Brody in a Denver District court on Friday afternoon for second-degree murder in connection to the deaths of Djibril Diol, 29; Djibril's wife, Adja, 23; the couple's 2-year-old daughter Khadija; Djibril's sister, Hassan, 25, and Hassan's 6-month-old daughter, Hawa Beye.

"This monster didn't just kill five people," Amadou Beye, father of Hawa Beye, said during the sentencing. "He destroyed me. He destroyed my family."

The arson at the Senegalese immigrant family's home in the Green Valley Ranch neighborhood of Denver on Aug. 5, 2020, began as a miscalculated revenge plot.

In the early morning, Seymour, Kevin Bui and Dillon Siebert — Bui and Seymour 16 at the time, Siebert 15 — allegedly started a house fire as an act of revenge for a stolen iPhone. 

The trio broke into the home in masks and poured fuel around the first floor, lighting it ablaze.

Meet 14 Most Popular Dog Breeds With Underbites

Have you ever wondered why your puppy has misaligned and expressed lower teeth? Maybe you often relate this misalignment with some sort of abnormality, but that’s not always the case.

Dog breeds with underbites are usually small dogs and medium dogs, and this trait does not represent a serious health issue. Rather, it is a characteristic that dogs live with without any problem.

There are, however, some factors that can impact this condition in a bad way, like the food they are given, or an unadjusted way of life.

Dog Breeds With Underbites

Dogs with an underbite, or, medically known as canine malocclusion, is a condition of misalignment of the lower jaw with the upper jaw. This is a trait of smaller dog breeds, and it sometimes even contributes to their sassiness.

However, malocclusion can be a health problem when the puppy is not able to chew its food or has a painful jaw. This is not a rare condition for flat-faced, brachycephalic breeds, like pekingese and pugs.

Most of the time, you have nothing to worry about since the setup of your dog’s teeth is just natural and cannot be different. All you need to worry about is not giving them food that doesn’t suit your puppy and you will be fine.

5 Reasons Why Your Dog May Be Losing Weight

 

• A wide variety of conditions and problems can cause weight loss in dogs. Here are five reasons why your pet may be avoiding meals or losing weight.

1. Food Issues

Have you changed your dog's diet recently, or has their standard dog food been reformulated? Some dogs are picky eaters who don't adjust well to changes in their diets. Even if their kibble manufacturer has only changed a few ingredients in their dog food recipe, a picky dog may notice and turn their nose up at the strange new tastes and smells.

Dogs may also develop food aversion in stressful situations. For example, if you bring a new pet home or you have an aggressive dog that eats near a submissive dog, the submissive dog may be too fearful or anxious at mealtimes to eat.

If you've moved recently, the tap water may taste different than the tap water at your old place. If you mix your dog's kibble with water to moisten their meal, the changed flavor of the water may be putting your dog off from eating.

2. Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetes mellitus is one of the canine diseases that can cause rapid weight loss in dogs. Dogs who lose weight because of diabetes often show other symptoms along with food aversion and declining condition.

Along with unexplained weight loss, signs of diabetes in dogs may include the following symptoms:

• Excessive water consumption
• Frequent urination
• Increased hunger
• Cataract formation

As with the human disease, canine diabetes mellitus is a disease in which a dog lacks enough insulin to break down blood sugar for nutrition. Without proper levels of insulin, a dog's system begins breaking down proteins and fats to use for energy, which eventually leads to serious physical decline in the pet.

If your dog's veterinarian suspects your dog has diabetes mellitus, the veterinarian will run tests including blood glucose tests and urinalysis. Treatment for canine diabetes mellitus normally includes insulin injections and a specialized diet.
