11 a.m.VALLEJO — Police are looking for a Vallejo man in connection with a house fire that killed three members of the same family.

Authorities say 58-year-old David Dykes, his brother 60-year-old Douglas Dykes and 11-month-old Benjamin Stickle died when the two-alarm fire engulfed the family home on Emerald Circle in Vallejo early Thursday. The infant is the grandson of David Dykes.

The baby’s grandmother -- 55-year-old Theresa Dykes -- escaped the fire and was listed in critical condition in the intensive care unit at a local hospital.

Police haven’t released the name of the man they’re looking for, but say he’s the boyfriend of the baby’s aunt.

Investigators from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives are assisting Vallejo police and firefighters in the investigation.
