3 of the 5 victims in Denver-area shooting spree killed at tattoo parlors, family and police say
Authorities, friends and relatives have identified three more victims in this week's metro Denver shooting spree that wounded several people, including a policewoman, and left five others and the gunman dead.
One of the slain victims, 44-year-old Alicia Cardenas, owned Sol Tribe Tattoo & Piercing, her father, Alfredo Cardenas, told CNN affiliate KMGH. Along with his only daughter -- who he described as gregarious, friendly and a "real leader in the community" -- two other Sol Tribe employees were shot during the Monday night rampage, the father told the affiliate.
A Sol Tribe assistant manager, Alyssa Gunn Maldonado, was also killed, and her husband, James Maldonado, has been hospitalized after being injured in the shootings, a friend and a former colleague told CNN. James Maldonado was a piercer at the tattoo studio.
Police also identified two other victims in the suburb of Lakewood: Danny Scofield, 38, who was fatally shot at Lucky 13 Tattoo, and Sarah Steck, 28, who was killed while working at the Hyatt House hotel.
"This individual [the shooter] was on the radar of law enforcement," he said without elaborating.
It appears McLeod had some connection to the local tattoo community, via his previous affiliation with a now-shuttered studio, though it's also unclear if the shootings are in any way related to McLeod's previous business relationships.
A Denver tattoo parlor listing McLeod as its "registered agent," according to the Colorado Secretary of State's Office, was incorporated in 2005 and became "delinquent for failure to file Periodic Report" in 2017.

McLeod also had quite an online presence with hateful views. No link because of his potty mouth. It's not clear if this relates to motive, but when a guy writes a book under a pseudonym, but uses his own real name as the murderer-protagonist, it raises some questions. Especially after he actually goes out and murders people.
Lyndon McLeod, who police say killed five people during a deadly rampage in the Denver area, was an author dedicated to alt-right philosophies, including masculine supremacy, contrarian COVID-19 beliefs, and targeted violence against the “weak.”
McLeod appears to have operated a plethora of Twitter and Instagram accounts under the alias Roman McClay, which he used for his three-book series Sanction. The book series ... follows a character named Lyndon McLeod, a persona named after its author who “commits 46 murders”
