Denver’s medical examiner on Wednesday identified the second person killed in a string of stabbings on the 16th Street Mall over the weekend.
Nicholas Burkett, 34, was pronounced dead from a stab wound at Denver Health at about 9:38 p.m. Sunday, Denver Office of the Medical Examiner officials said in a news release.
Burkett’s death was ruled a homicide.
He was the fourth person stabbed in what police believe was a random string of attacks along the pedestrian shopping street on Saturday and Sunday. Celinda Levno, a 71-year-old flight attendant based in Phoenix, was also killed in an attack Saturday while she was visiting the mall during a layover.
A 49-year-old man and a 62-year-old man were also injured in separate attacks.
