Denver shooting suspect self-published books depicting tattoo shop shooting, named two of the victims – By Olivia Prentzel (Colorado Sun) / December 29, 2021
Authorities identified the fourth and fifth victims as Michael Swinyard, 67, and Alyssa Gunn, 35
Two years before Lyndon James Mcleod went on a shooting rampage across Denver and Lakewood, killing five people and wounding at least two others, he wrote about an assassin clad in all black barging into a 6th Avenue tattoo parlor and fatally shooting tattoo artists and their clients.
Two people killed in the second book of a self-published trilogy rife with violent fantasies and rants against women, diversity and globalization, have the same names as people who died in the shooting spree Monday.
The book also names Sol Tribe, the tattoo studio near West First Avenue and Broadway where Mcleod began the rampage by killing its owner and another tattoo artist. Mcleod also shot at people near a tattoo studio at West Sixth Avenue and Cherokee Street.
At least two other people, including a police officer, were wounded before Mcleod was killed while exchanging gunfire with officers in the Belmar shopping district in Lakewood, according to police.
