Travis Ikeguchi (27 years old, born in 1996 – passed away on August 18, 2023) was living in California. He’s the person suspected of shooting and killing Laura Ann Carleton, who owned a store called Mag Pi and was 66 years old.
Ikeguchi apparently shot Carleton because he didn’t like the LGBTQ pride flag that she had outside her shop. The sheriff, Shannon Dicus, said Ikeguchi used many hurtful words against Carleton because she supported LGBTQ+ people.
The police shot and killed Ikeguchi not long after he killed Carleton. It turns out that Travis really didn’t like the LGBTQ+ movement, and he posted a lot of mean things on his Twitter account, @TravisIkeguchi. One of his posts even showed a burning pride flag.

Travis Shoots Laura Carlton Over Pride Flag Disagreement
This sad event happened when the police got a call about an emergency at the ‘Mag Pi’ shop on Hook Creek Road around 5 p.m. on Friday.
When they arrived, they found the shop’s owner, Laura Carleton, who was 66 years old, had been shot. Sadly, the paramedics couldn’t help her, and she died right there.
The person who did it had a handgun and ran away on foot, according to the police. Soon after, the police found Ikeguchi, the person they thought shot Laura, near the intersection of Rouse Ranch Road and Torrey Road. They had to shoot him, and he died.
Thankfully, the police who dealt with this situation were not hurt. The police didn’t say if they found a gun where they shot Ikeguchi or if they’re looking into this as a hate crime.
Later, they found out that the person who did it had said mean things about the rainbow flag outside the store before he shot Laura.
