Less than a week after the shooting on October 18, police detained Luis Mendoza, 35, on October 22, and Burr Charlesworth, 42, on October 19. The two suspects “are being held for investigation of attempted first-degree murder and first-degree assault,” Heather Willard of KDVR said.

Based on court documents, Mendoza was seen entering the strip club after midnight and he kept an eye on the victims instead of engaging with the entertainers Soon after the victims left, Mendoza began to follow them. Charlesworth meanwhile denied firing at the victims and said that gunshots came from other vehicles. He told the investigators that he was helping a friend who had asked him to stalk the victims because of a fight.
