DENVER — The man sentenced for the Club Q mass shooting in November 2022, killing five people and injuring 17 others, has been booked into the Denver Reception and Diagnostic Center.
23-year-old Anderson Lee Aldrich pleaded guilty to the five counts of first-degree murder and all 46 counts of attempted first-degree murder, and pleaded “no contest” to two charges of bias-motivated crimes. That means he does not have the possibility of parole.
Alrich uses they/them pronouns.
They were sentenced to five consecutive life sentences plus 2,208 years in the department of corrections– the longest sentence handed down in the 4th Judicial District and second-longest in state history, according to District Attorney Michael Allen.

Colorado does not have a death penalty as a sentence for serious crimes. It was repealed by the governor in 2020.
However, the FBI has opened an investigation to determine if the Club Q shooter should face federal charges and the possibility of the death penalty, even though it’s abolished on the state level.
