A stabbing spree in Denver over the weekend left two people dead, leading to the arrest of Elijah Caudill, 24, for first degree murder and attempted first degree murder. The attacks began on Saturday near 16th Street, with the first victim sustaining non-life-threatening injuries and the second, an adult female, dying from her wounds. Two additional victims were also attacked, with one adult male succumbing to his injuries on Sunday. Police apprehended a suspect matching Caudill’s description after a pursuit and confirmed there was no known connection between him and the victims.
Mayor Mike Johnston identified Caudill as a white male with a criminal history born in Colorado, and Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas extended condolences to the victims’ families. Authorities assured the public that the city remains safe despite the random nature of the stabbings. The case is being handled by the public defender’s office, but no further comments have been made regarding the ongoing investigation. Residents are encouraged to sign up for true crime news updates to stay informed about the latest developments in the case.
