   A flight attendant was fatally stabbed, and two men injured in separate   
   attacks along Denver's 16th Street Mall. Police are searching for the   
   suspect.   
      
   DENVER — Police have identified the man accused of stabbing four people   
   along the 16th Street Mall in Denver over the weekend, killing two of   
   them.   
      
   Elijah Caudill, 24, is currently being held on suspicion of:   
      
   first-degree murder of an at-risk elder   
   first-degree murder   
   two counts of attempted murder   
   He appeared in court Monday morning for his first advisement and is being   
   held without bond.   
      
   Caudill was arrested in connection to the three stabbings that happened on   
   Saturday evening as well as a fatal stabbing on Sunday night, according to   
   Denver Police.   
      
   Two people were killed and two others were injured in the stabbings in the   
   area of the 16th Street Mall, the Denver Police Department said.   
      
   Three of the stabbings happened between 5 and 6 p.m. Saturday. One of the   
   victims - a flight attendant who was in Denver for a layover - was killed.   
   A family member who spoke with 9NEWS sister station KPNX in Phoenix   
   identified Celinda Levno as the woman who was killed Saturday.   
      
   The Association of Professional Flight Attendants sent out a release   
   Sunday saying the Phoenix-based flight attendant, who began her career   
   with America West in 1989, died in a "senseless tragedy" while on layover   
   in downtown Denver.   
      
   The death did not happen at the downtown Denver layover hotel, but the   
   association said crews who were laying over would be temporarily relocated   
   to a hotel near Denver International Airport.   
      
   "Celinda's love for her horses, friends, and family will always be   
   remembered," the association said in a statement. "We stand in support   
   with Celinda's family, friends, and our colleagues in Phoenix Inflight as   
   they process this senseless tragedy."   
      
   The two other victims sustained injuries that were not life-threatening.   
   A fourth person - a man - was stabbed around 8 p.m. Sunday. He died from   
   his injuries.   
      
   Caudill is believed to be responsible for the following stabbings,   
   according to DPD.   
      
   A stabbing at 16th and Tremont streets that occurred at 5:12 pm. on   
   Saturday. The victim - a man - went to the hospital on his own and was   
   treated for non-life-threatening injuries.   
      
   A stabbing at 16th and California streets that occurred about five minutes   
   later at 5:17 p.m. The victim - a woman - was taken to a hospital where   
   she died.   
      
   A stabbing that occurred at 16th and Lawrence streets at about 5:54 p.m.   
   on Saturday. The victim -a man - was taken to the hospital with serious   
   injuries but is expected to survive.   
      
   A stabbing that occurred at 16th and Wynkoop streets around 8:06 p.m.   
   Sunday (the location was initially reported as 16th and Market). The   
   victim - a man- was taken to the hospital and died from his injuries.

   In a news conference Monday, Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas said that   
   Sunday evening, as officers were in the area looking for the suspect from   
   Saturday's stabbings, they saw a person running with a knife in hand.   
   Officers took him into custody in the area of 16th and Wynkoop streets.   
   Immediately after he was taken into custody, police learned about the   
   fourth stabbing.   
      
   Thomas said it's unclear where the suspect was between Saturday night and   
   Sunday night.   
      
   Mayor Mike Johnston said the suspect was born in Colorado, and has a   
   criminal history here. 9NEWS Investigates found the suspect spent the   
   better part of 2023 and 2024 locked up in either the state prison system   
   or the downtown Denver jail.

   In the news conference Monday, Johnston said crime in the downtown area is   
   down from previous years, and retail business along the 16th Street Mall   
   is up. 9NEWS asked how to reconcile those stats with these crimes.   
      
   "We acknowledge both things are true," Johnston said. "This was a tragic,   
   catastrophic event in our city. We unfortunately have seen events like   
   this in Colorado in the past, and they're hard to get through. It also is   
   important for people to know just how incredibly rare they are."   
      
   Johnston also said the city is committed to increasing the police presence   
   in downtown over the coming weeks and months.
