The suspect in the fatal shooting of five people at a Colorado gay nightclub changed his name more than six years ago as a teenager, after filing a legal petition in Texas saying he wanted to 'protect himself' from a father with a criminal history.

Additionally, a YouTube account was opened in Brink's name that included an animation titled "Asian homosexual gets molested." Jeremiah Harris, who is 24 and gay, said he went to the club a couple of times a month and recognized one of the victims as the bartender who always served him. Local and federal authorities declined to answer questions Monday about why hate crime charges are being considered, citing the ongoing investigation.
