Anderson Lee Aldrich, the suspect in the fatal shooting of five people in a Colorado LGBTQ nightclub last month, is set to be formally charged, potentially facing dozens of counts including murder, attempted murder, assault and hate crimes
Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22, has been held without bond at the El Paso County jail stemming from the Nov. 19 rampage at Club Q in Colorado Springs. Twenty-two people were wounded with gunshots or injured in other ways.
Those killed were identified as Kelly Loving, 40, Daniel Aston, 28, Derrick Rump, 38, Ashley Paugh, 34, and Raymond Green Vance, 22. “My thoughts are with those we lost ... and those who are still recovering from their injuries,” said James, who was hospitalized with unspecified injuries and has since been released.
Colorado no longer has a death-penalty statute but Aldrich could face a death sentence in federal court if prosecutors there decide to charge him with crimes under the federal code that still has capital punishment on its books for certain crimes.
