The suspect in a California woman's murder over a Pride flag was killed in a shootout

Authorities say that Travis Ikeguchi, a man suspected of murdering a Southern California woman over the LGBTQ+ Pride flag displayed at her clothing store, was killed in a shootout with police on Friday.

San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies responded to the Mag.Pi clothing store in Cedar Glen, Calif., at around 5 p.m. local time Friday for reports of a shooting.

Travis Ikeguchi, a 27-year-old from Cedar Glen, Calif., fired at officers when they confronted him about a mile from the scene later Friday, San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus told reporters Monday.

Carleton studied at the ArtCenter College of Design and had a long career in the fashion industry, including a 15-year run as an executive at Kenneth Cole, the site said.

The Lake Arrowhead LGBTQ organization took to social media to address the shooting, saying that while Carleton did not identify as a member, she spent her time helping and being an advocate for those in the LGBTQ+ community.

Mountain Provisions Cooperative, a local food co-op, said on Instagram that Carleton and her husband had been pivotal in helping organize a free store after a blizzard hit the area earlier this year.
