Denver police have announced an amount of money when they investigated early Wednesday morning that five members of a family – including two young children – were murdered with ties to the West African country of Senegal.
The $ 14,000 reward for information leading to an arrest was announced Friday at a news conference hosted by Senegal’s representative to the United Nations, according to reports.
“Besides the money, what I’re asking for is a heartfelt plea,” said Joe Montoya, the division’s police department. ‘I want people to see them in their hearts … and understand that this was a family that was thriving. They were heading in the right direction. ”
Killed in the fire were Djibril and Adja Diol, and their 3-year-old daughter Kadidia, and Hassan Diol and their granddaughter, Hawa Beye. Hassan Diol and Djibril Diol were sisters.
Djibril Diol, his wife Adja, and their daughter Kadidia were killed in a fire early Wednesday. The fire also killed his sister and her grandmother.

Montoya said Djibril Diol “did all the things he had to do to provide his family with a great life in America, and that was all cut short on that day.”
Dictators assigned to the case have no suspicions and do not know if the crime was bias-related, he said.

“We don’t want to bring tunnel vision to a motive,” he said. “There are some cases, at the front it is very clear what the motive is for a crime. This is not one of those cases.”
The fire destroyed the Senegalese community of Colorado, the Denver Post reported.
The paper quoted Senegal’s consul general Elhadji Ndao as saying that people were shocked back in Senegal.
