DENVER Three teenagers have been arrested in connection with a house fire last summer in Denver that killed a former Summit County resident and four of his family members, including two children, police said Wednesday.
The fire, which police believe was intentionally set, killed former Silverthorne resident Djibril Diol, who graduated from Colorado Mountain College in Summit County in 2015 with an associate of science degree in physics. He immigrated to the U.S. from the West African country of Senegal in 2012.
Diol was the first person in his family to go to college, and he worked at City Market in Breckenridge to pay his way through school.
