Anderson Aldrich, the alleged perpetrator of the Club Q mass shooting, pleaded guilty to more than 50 charges on Monday morning, including first-degree murder. 

Aldrich pleaded guilty in a capacity courtroom to five counts of first-degree murder and 46 counts of attempted first-degree murder. 

Aldrich was accused of fatally shooting five people and injuring nearly two dozen at the LGBTQ+ nightclub Club Q on North Academy Boulevard on Nov. 19. Aldrich faced 323 charges, including first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, hate crimes and more from the 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

"I intentionally and after deliberation caused the death of each victims listed in those accounts," Aldrich informed the court after pleading guilty to 51 total charges. 

Aldrich additionally pleaded no contest to two counts of bias-motivated crime.

“I believe there is a high probability of being found guilty at trial on those counts, so I’m pleading no contest,” Aldrich stated.  

Aldrich as a result will be sentenced to five consecutive life sentences in the Colorado Department of Corrections for each guilty plea of first-degree murder, as per the plea agreement.

Prior to the plea deal being read, Aldrich confirmed to Judge Michael McHenry that Aldrich identifies as non-binary.
