Four of the five victims killed in the Saturday night, Nov. 19 shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs have been identified. Two of the three identified so far were employees of the bar, bartender Derrick Rump and supervisor Daniel Davis Alston.
They were both working Saturday night when the shooting occurred. Porsha DeMarco-Douglas, a drag performer at the bar, posted a photo of the two men early on Sunday, writing, “My boys are gone.
Plz take care of each other. I love you both so much.” Alston’s mother told Colorado Public Radio that her son, a transgender man who had moved to Colorado Springs from Oklahoma in 2020 to be closer to his parents, was “the happiest he had ever been … He had so much more life to give to us and to all to his friends and to himself.” Rump performed in drag often at Club Q as well as being a bartender there.
