The Colorado Springs Police Department released the booking photo of Anderson Lee Aldrich. Court filings show that Aldrich identifies as nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns.
Aldrich was arrested last Sunday, charged with a mass shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Five persons were killed and 19 injured at the LGBTQ venue just before a Transgender Day of Remembrance event was about to begin.
Those killed include Daniel Aston, 28; Kelly Loving, 40; Ashley Paugh, 35; Derrick Rump; and Raymond Green Vance, 22.
The suspect used a semi-automatic rifle.
The 22-years old suspect was subdued mainly by U.S. Army veteran Richard Fierro, and entertainer Thomas James.
A motive remains unclear, according to NBC News.
There will be a hearing on December 6.
CBS News reported that Colorado Springs unveiled a giant LGBTQ pride flag at City Hall to honor the victims.
