DENVER — Two of the five people who were injured in a shooting that killed two people outside of a Denver motorcycle club this month are now facing first-degree murder charges, the Denver District Attorney's Office said Tuesday.
Prosecutors said Todd Washington, 40, and Shon McPherson, 32, are each charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder and first-degree attempted murder in connection with the shooting.
Court documents show each suspect is charged with four counts of murder and six counts of attempted murder.
Michael David, 43, and Joshua Batts, 39, were killed in the shooting early in the morning of Nov. 5 outside of Hell's Lovers Motorcycle Club on 33rd Avenue in the Park Hill neighborhood. Five people, including the suspects, were injured by gunfire, according to police.
Prosecutors said Washington's booking photo was not immediately available.
According to an arrest affidavit from Denver police, just after 3 a.m., several women are seen on a video being escorted out of the club. A witness told police she was at the club with Washington's daughter.
The witness told police that Washington's daughter was among those who got kicked out. According to the witness, Washington's daughter called him and expressed anger about a security guard allegedly putting his hands on her, the affidavit says.
About three minutes later, the affidavit says, Washington is seen entering the back parking lot of the business.
Around the same time, two men are seen walking around the front of the business appearing as if they're "casing it," the affidavit says. One of them was identified as McPherson. A short time later, McPherson and Washington are seen on video at the front of the business confronting security guards. Both of them are seen in the video holding firearms, the affidavit says.
While they were there, someone exited the club also armed with a gun, the document says. When that happened, Washington raised his firearm and McPherson followed suit. McPherson appeared to fire two shots before anyone was able to return fire, the affidavit says.
Video also shows Washington firing his weapon after McPherson, according to the document.
Based on the video evidence and witness statements, investigators believe that Washington and others devised a plan to re-engage the staff of the club and confront them, the affidavit says.
Both suspects were shot in the chest. McPherson got back into a car and was dropped off at Rose Medical Center for treatment. Washington was taken by ambulance to Denver Health.
Three people inside the club were also struck by gunfire. The affidavit notes that the bullets would have come from the direction that Washington and McPherson were firing.
