DENVER — A 20-year-old man pleaded guilty Friday to two counts of second-degree murder for starting a house fire that killed five people in Denver’s Green Valley Ranch neighborhood more than three years ago.
Bui and two teenagers — Gavin Seymour and Dillon Siebert — were accused in January 2021 of intentionally setting the house on fire in the middle of the night. The trio incorrectly thought Bui's stolen iPhone was in the home and set the home ablaze as revenge, according to an arrest affidavit. Siebert, who was 15 at the time, pleaded guilty in December of 2022 to second-degree murder charge that included a sentence enhancer for using a weapon in a crime and was sentenced about two months later.
A search warrant requested by the Denver Police Department in the case required Google to turn over records of keyword searches for that address within a specific time frame, likely violating the suspect's 4th Amendment rights, which protects them from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. The state's supreme court upheld that controversial search warrant in October of last year, and the cases against Seymour and Bui were able to move forward.
