A man was charged Friday with murder, attempted murder and assault for the downtown Denver stabbing spree along the 16th Street Mall that killed two and sent two others to the hospital last weekend.
Elijah Caudill, 24, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the stabbing deaths of Celinda Levno, 71, and Nicholas Burkett, 34. Caudill also faces two charges each of attempted first-degree murder and first-degree assault for the two attacks that were not fatal.
“Our thoughts are with the victims of these terrible attacks and their families,” Denver District Attorney John Walsh said in a news release. “The Denver DA’s office will prosecute this case to the full extent of the law.”
Caudill is accused of carrying out the attacks Jan. 11 and 12, and was arrested Sunday evening, when Denver police spotted him running from the scene of the fourth stabbing carrying a large knife.
He is being held at Denver’s Downtown Detention Center without bond.
