The guy who killed a woman over a rainbow flag has been identified.
Surprise- he was your typical homophobic christian republican.
You can see a thread of them here.

Somehow I didn't hear about this at ALL last month but apparently a woman was murdered at her shop because she had a Pride flag up in the window

Lauri Carleton was at her store Mag.Pi in Cedar Glen when a 27 year old man came in, tore down her flag and began shouting homophobic slurs; when she confronted him, he shot and killed her. Soon after he was killed in a shoot-out with local police.
This is insane! Like, according to her friends and family Lauri Carleton was a cishet woman who just wanted to show support towards the local LGBTQ+ community... and a right-wing blowhard whose social media is littered with Sinfest and other far-right memes just showed up to her work and murdered her for it. They want us DEAD.
⚠️❗️ Please read the description! ❗️⚠️ [may be disturbing to some]
Laura Ann Carleton, or "Lauri" as she was ofthen refeared to, on the 18th of August was murdered by a man, most likely because she had hung a pride flag by the entrance of her shop. (This information is backed up by the fact that her murderer was caught ripping the pride flag off of her shop before the attack, and he also had an anti lgbtq+ history.)
Lauri was NOT, I repeat, she WAS NOT a part of the Lgbtqai+ community. She was a straight, cis woman.
She was the victim of a hate crime against a group she wasn't even a part of.
Homophobia and transphobia hurt not only people who fall under the lgbtqai+ umbrella but many others as well.
Just a few months before Laura's death, underage cis girls were sexually assaulted after being accused of being trans.
I don't want their sacrifices to be forgotten. They suffered at the hands of people who pretend to protect people like them.
Please read more about these crimes (if you can take it, of course; I can't take everything either) and tell people about them.
Violent hate will affect everyone, not just the ones it's "supposed to be" directed at.
Rest in peace, Laura Ann Carleton. I hope one day I can have a chance to draw you in person, on the other side.
Community members describe Laura Carleton as a ‘remarkable figure’ dedicated to creating a ‘safe and inclusive space’ at her shop
Tributes are pouring in for a “beloved” California business owner who was shot dead by a man who complained about a Pride flag hanging at her store.
The unnamed individual killed Laura Ann Carleton, 66, at her business Mag Pi clothing store after making “several disparaging remarks about a rainbow flag that stood outside the store," the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Office said.
Deputies responded to the incident around 5pm on Friday following reports of shots being fired. The mother of nine children was pronounced dead at the scene, the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
The shooter fled the scene on foot but was later located by authorities near Torrey Road and Rause Rancho Road. The suspect, who has not been identified, was killed during “a lethal force encounter” with police.

The San Bernardino Sheriff's Department says the man who killed Laura Ann Carleton was Travis Ikeguchi, who was killed in a confrontation wi
Trudy Ring at The Advocate:
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department has identified the man who they believe shot and killed Laura Ann Carleton during a dispute over her display of a Pride flag at her shop in Cedar Glen, Calif. The man, who was killed in a confrontation with deputies, is Travis Ikeguchi, 27, of Cedar Glen, according to the sheriff’s department, which released his name Monday. Ikeguchi fled on foot after shooting Carleton Friday evening, and when the deputies caught up with him, he was carrying no identification, hence the delay in identifying him.
Carleton, 66, who was known as Lauri to her friends and family, was gunned down at her clothing store, Mag Pi. Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the store after the shooting was reported, and emergency medical personnel pronounced her dead at the scene. “Detectives learned the suspect made several disparaging remarks about a rainbow flag that stood outside the store before shooting Carleton,” a police statement said. “Investigators determined that prior to the shooting the suspect tore down a Pride, or rainbow, flag that was hanging in front of the store and yelled many homophobic slurs toward Carleton,” San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus said during a media briefing on Monday reported on by several local and national outlets. Dicus added that Ikeguchi, who lived in Cedar Glen, had posted hate-filled, homophobic content on social media, including on X, the site formerly known as Twitter.
The suspect in the homophobic murder of Mag Pi store owner Laura Ann Carleton has been revealed: Travis Ikeguchi.
Ikeguchi's rabid anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments played a role in shooting and killing Carleton for displaying the LGBTQ+ Pride flag.
Our national gun obsession plus fringe anti-LGBTQ hatred were always going to get people killed. How we respond is up to us.
If people think anti-gay & trans rhetoric isn’t dangerous, think again. — Film director Paul Feig, memorializing his friend Lauri Carleton.
I don’t know how to begin this story except with stark, terrible, simple facts.
A 66-year-old woman is dead, gunned down for hanging a Pride flag outside her boutique clothing shop in Cedar Glen, a rural Southern California town known as queer friendly and welcoming.
According to witnesses, Laura Ann (Lauri) Carleton was working in her shop about 5 PM last Friday when she noticed a 27-year-old man outside “ripping her Pride flag down.” Neighbors say her Pride flags had been vandalized in the past, and she kept replacing them.
When she went out to confront the man Friday evening, he shouted anti-LGBTQ slurs then shot her to death, point blank.

Lauri Carleton
I'm glad the cops made themselves useful and shot that fucker.
Once again, it's a man killing a woman.
Once again, it's a man killing a woman who had an opinion.
Once again, it's a man murdering a woman who had an opinion hE DiDn'T LiKe; that all people have rights, even people who are not white straight men. (Allegedly)
Didn't Lauri Carleton have #FreedomOfSpeech? Didn't Lauri Carleton have the #RightToLife?
Not according to that piece of shit.
She wasn't even LGBTQ. She was a woman, married to the same man, for nearly 30 years with a blended family of nine children. She was an ally.
It's been three days. Why hasn't the San Bernardino Sheriff's Office released the man's name? Why are they protecting him? Who are they protecting? What are they hiding?
