Colorado gay club shooter Anderson Lee Aldrich previously changed their name and now identifies as non-binary, using they/them pronouns.
Aldrich, 22, is suspected of murdering five people and injuring others at Club Q on Saturday – meanwhile, it was revealed that their dad is a porn star who goes by the name ‘Dick Delaware.’
The suspect’s original name is Nicholas Franklin Brink. They changed it to Anderson Lee Aldrich in 2016 in a petition signed by their mother, biological grandmother and step-grandfather.
In a court filing, Aldrich’s public defenders said that their client is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, referring to the client as ‘Mx. Anderson Aldrich.’
According to the petition, which was signed when Aldrich still identified as male, the name change was meant ‘to protect himself and his future from any connections’ to his birth father, Aaron Brink.
Aldrich is also apparently registered with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, but to their knowledge, had not been an active member, according to the Washington Post.
