Masked suspects are sought in the house fire that killed five family members, including two children, in Denver, said police.

The Denver Police Department released a surveillance photo Tuesday that showed several individuals who are believed to have set the home on fire earlier this month.

Djibril Diol, 29; Adja Diol, 23; 2-year-old daughter Khadija, Djibril’s sister Hassan Diol, 25; and her daughter Hawa Baye were killed in the blaze, as reported by 9 News.

Officials said that three suspects were spotted in a photo with full-face masks and hoodies. They fled the scene in a dark-colored sedan of some kind.

Officials haven’t disclosed a motive in the crime.

Anyone with information on the homicide is asked to call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 720-913-7867. A $14,000 reward is being offered in the case.

According to a GoFundMe, the Diol family still needs money for a funeral.
