In a May 7 news release, an ATF spokesperson said someone firebombed the home on 77th Street in nortwhest Milwaukee on April 25. The release included a still image, taken from surveillance video, of a van traveling in the alley behind the home. On Monday, the spokesperson said investigators did not receive any tips about the vehicle or its driver after published news reports.
