Father of Colorado Springs Club Q Massacre Perpetrator[edit]

Update this page 97.71.173.218 (talk) 17:20, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Life[edit]

HEY - it appears this guy (Aaron Brink) is the biological father of Anderson Lee Aldrich - the guy who shot up the gay club "Q" in Colorado Springs. Data / info found here: https://denvergazette.com/continuing-coverage/club-q-shooting/accused-club-q-shooter-changed-name-at-15-dad-was-mma-and-porn-star-mom/article_ddb4e564-6a74-11ed-b674-9fca61c5f9c9.html davequ (talk) 01:36, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That would be WP:COATRACK 46.97.170.38 (talk) 11:23, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Intervention appearance[edit]

Apparently, on the show, Brink mentioned that he used to “masturbate 12 hours a day while high” [1]. Also, one of his former costars in the porn industry described him as “tweaked in the head”. Not sure if either of these facts is noteworthy for inclusion in the article, though. 2604:2D80:6984:3800:0:0:0:121B (talk) 20:51, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Death - No Sources[edit]

I can't find a single source that Brink ever died yet the article has a date of death listed without citation. Homeslyce (talk) 15:36, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

According to this edit User:NAADAAN, cited this source to support the claim. Kire1975 (talk) 19:00, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Considering Facebook posts made by Brink’s colleagues mourning his death (obviously these are self-published sources) and the article written by an associate of Brink, it’s a safe assumption that he indeed died on May 2023 (possibly the 26th or earlier), perhaps it was too premature to write an exact date instead of May 2023.

Considering that Brink had lost his fame many years prior to the Club Q shooting after abandoning his MMA career to the point where he resorted to petty crime, this is probably the best sources we can have regarding his death. NAADAAN (talk) 19:43, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
