The suspect accused in the Feb. 2 Washington Park shooting in Denver appeared via video in Denver County Court Monday. 

Ryan Egelston, 28, faces two counts of attempted murder after deliberation, two counts of attempted murder with extreme indifference, one count of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of vehicular eluding and six sentence enhancers, a spokesperson with the Denver District Attorney’s office told The Denver Gazette.

The charges are in connection with two shootings that occurred at Washington Park around 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 2.

That incident began when an “older, hunched over” man asked to sit on the same park bench as Egelston, according to an arrest affidavit from Denver police. Egelston then allegedly spit on the man pushed him, and punched him in the lower back, and shot out his bicycle tire.

In an interview after his arrest, Egelston told detectives that he told the man to leave and claimed he was a “pedophile” who wanted “to touch him,” according to the arrest affidavit. 

Egelston then began to walk southbound in the area of East Kentucky Avenue and South Downing Street and fired at a second person from behind, hitting her in the jaw and neck, Denver police said.

The woman suffered a broken jaw, several missing teeth and arterial bleeding, according to records.

Egelston’s next court appearance is a preliminary hearing scheduled for March 5 in Denver District Court. He’s being held on $1 million bond. During a preliminary hearing, prosecutors present evidence to determine whether a defendant should face trial.
