In fact, very little about the shooter is known at this time.

Not true, all one has is to Google his name and this information came out within a day or two.

Carleton was killed outside her clothing store, Mag.Pi, in Cedar Glen, an area near California’s Lake Arrowhead, on Friday. The suspect left the scene on foot, and was later killed by police after he opened fire, according to comments in a press conference reported by The Guardian. During a press conference Monday, police identified the suspected killer as 27-year-old Travis Ikeguchi. The incident is being investigated as a hate crime, as officials told NBC News.

San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus told reporters that Ikeguchi tore down the Pride flag outside Mag.Pi and “yelled many homophobic slurs” before the shooting, per The Guardian. Ikeguchi also had an extensive history of making anti-LGBTQ+ comments on Twitter; in fact, his pinned post, which remains up at the time of writing, is a picture of a burning rainbow flag captioned, “What to do with the LGBTQP [sic] flag?”

On the right-wing social media platform Gab, Ikeguchi was even bolder. One of his pinned posts, according to Vice, read, “We need to STOP COMPROMISING on this LGBT dictatorship and not let them take over our lives. Stop accepting this abomination that the government is forcing us to submit to these mentally disordered tyrants.” The suspect also allegedly shared a link to a video called “When Should You Shoot a Cop,” with a caption reading, “There will come a time that we have to do this.” (Ikeguchi’s Gab profile was removed on Monday.)

Ikeguchi’s bigotry was not limited to the LGBTQ+ community, however. Many of his posts aligned with Christian nationalist views. On June 28, Ikeguchi posted that abortion and same-sex marriage “are both immoral and are design [sic] to destroy humanity one by one.” “So if someone is pro-abortion and pro-LGBTQP, they are at war against the foundation of family values,” Ikeguchi wrote. Ikeguchi also posted about a variety of other standard right-wing conspiratorial content, including anti-vaccine content and anti-Semitic memes.

Sounds like a dyed in the Red MAGAt.
