Keanna Rosenburgh, 17, remains in custody under a $500,000 bond after police say she shot five people after being denied entry to a downtown bar.
DENVER — Just over 200 days ago in Denver, bullets hit five people after police say a teenage girl got angry because she was denied entry to Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row.
On Friday, suspect Keanna Rosenburgh stood before a judge during a bond hearing. She faces more than 20 criminal counts, including eight charges of attempted murder. Police said security footage captured Rosenburgh firing a handgun indiscriminately into a crowd of people on Sept. 16.
Police arrested Rosenburgh about a month later in southern California.
Three of the shooting victims spoke to a judge on Friday morning in assertive tones over attempts by Rosenburgh to get out of custody with a lower bond. Rosenburgh’s attorney attempted to argue she would be closely supervised by family members in Jefferson County and continue counseling.
One of the victims who spoke in court on Friday was Desirae Gomez who still relies on a crutch to walk after bullets shattered bones in her legs and destroyed an artery. At Friday’s hearing, Gomez called Rosenburgh a mass shooter and shared with the court how she remains in constant pain from the incident.
“I wake up throughout the middle of the night, whether it’s from being traumatized, or just pain in my legs and feet,” Gomez told 9NEWS outside of court.
Two other victims also spoke and expressed how the shooting impacted their physical and mental health.
The judge denied Rosenburgh’s request for lower bond on Friday, citing the victims’ statements and the fact Rosenburgh fled to California immediately after the shooting.
Rosenburgh’s case is currently in adult court. Her attorneys have filed motions to move her case to juvenile court which could mean less severe consequences if she is ultimately convicted.
Gomez told 9NEWS she’s strongly against moving the case to juvenile court.
“She made a lot of adult decisions that night. And I think because she is 17, she expects to kind of walk freely and continue to make the same bad decisions,” Gomez said. “I think that if we cut her some slack, I don’t think there’s going to be any lessons learned.”
The court will take up the transfer hearing in May.
