A man accused of killing five people this week in Denver is believed to have authored online novels that name his real-life victims. The writings are part of a police investigation into the suspect's motive.

Mourners gather outside the door of a tattoo parlor in Denver on Tuesday, one of the scenes of a shooting rampage the day prior that left six people dead —including the suspected shooter — and left two more people wounded. DENVER — A man accused of killing five people in a rampage in Denver is believed to have written fictional books self-published online that named some of his real-life victims and described similar attacks.

In the first novel, written under a pen name of Roman McClay, a character named Lyndon stalks a poker party held by a character named"Michael Swinyard" and gains access to a building near Cheesman Park by posing as a police officer. He then fatally shoots everyone at the party and robs them before fleeing with his dog in a van.

Alicia Cardenas, a 44-year-old tattoo artist, was among his first victims in Monday's rampage. She was killed at her tattoo shop, along with another woman, Alyssa Gunn, 35. A man who was also wounded there is expected to survive, police said. He was identified by friends and customers as Gunn's husband, James Maldonado, a piercer there.

Cardenas, whose daughter is 12 years old, described herself as a"proud Indigenous artist" who also painted murals.
