Victims identified in Las Vegas fire that claimed 4 lives | Southwest

TO GoFundMe page and a family member have identified the victims of a fire in southwest Las Vegas valley which claimed the lives of two adults and two children last week.

Just before 4:10 a.m. Thursday, fire crews were called to 8332 Langhorne Creek Street, near the area of ​​West Windmill Lane and South Jones Boulevard.

The victims were Abraham Adem, his brother Abdul Adem and Abdul Adem’s children, Anaya and Aliyah, according to the fundraiser, which had raised more than $82,000 as of Monday morning.

In a brief telephone interview, Awet Adem, a brother of Abdul who was not in the house at the time of the fire, gave the Review-Journal different spellings for some of the victims.

He said those who died were his brothers Ibrahim Adem and Abdul Adem, as well as Abdul Adem’s children, Anaya and Aaliayh. Aaliayh had just turned six on Oct. 16, he said, and Anaya would have turned eight in November.

Adem declined to provide the ages of his siblings.

Authorities said a mother and her child jumped from a third-story window and were hospitalized.

Awet Adem and the fundraiser identified Senait and Amani Adem as the mother and child who escaped.

Adem said he and his siblings emigrated from Africa in the early 1990s with their mother to have a better life. Their father died when they were young, he said.

“Now, Senait and her surviving son face the unimaginable task of mourning their beloved family while needing to rebuild their lives from scratch,” the fundraiser said. “Their home, which held precious memories of a now-lost family, is uninhabitable and beyond repair.”
