Abstract

On August 5, 2020, five members of a family were killed when their house was set ablaze. Kevin Bui admitted to investigators that he and two other teens burned the house down after his iPhone had been stolen. He used the Find My application and located his phone at the Green Valley Ranch home. It was not until the next day while reading the news about the arson that he realized he had targeted the wrong residence.
