A Denver teenager, Gavin Seymour, has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for his involvement in a tragic incident that resulted in the death of five individuals. The incident took place on August 5, 2020, when Seymour and two other teenagers set fire to a house, leading to the deaths of five members of a Senegalese family.
Seymour, who was 19 years old at the time of sentencing, pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree murder in January. The fire was reportedly started as a revenge plot for a stolen cellphone that was mistakenly traced to the victims' home.
