Rikki Olds, a 25-year-old King Soopers employee, was among the ten people killed in the Boulder grocery store Monday, her aunt confirmed to The Denver Post.
Lori Olds said in a message to a Post reporter that she was notified Tuesday around 3 a.m., more than 12 hours after the shooting, that her niece was dead.
“Thank you so much to everyone for all your prayers, but the Lord got a beautiful young angel into the hands of a disturbed monster yesterday,” Lori Olds wrote in a public post on her Facebook page Tuesday morning.
According to Olds, her niece worked as a front-end driver for King Soopers at Table Mesa Drive 3600 in Boulder.
A man walked into the store on Monday afternoon and started shooting, killing ten people. Among those also killed was Boulder police officer Eric Talley, who died after responding to the shooting.
The suspect is facing ten charges of first-degree murder.
Rikki Olds’ Facebook identifies her as a Lafayette resident who attended Centaurus High School and Front Range Community College.
