Veteran American Airlines flight attendant killed in random attack while on a layover in Denver

Authorities have stated that a suspect has been taken into custody in relation to the murder of a long-serving American Airlines flight attendant who was among the individuals fatally stabbed in a random attack while on a layover in Denver.

As per the Denver Police Department, Elijah Caudill, aged 24, was apprehended late on Sunday night in connection with a series of four stabbings that took place during the weekend.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, American Airlines confirmed that Phoenix-based flight attendant Celinda Levno, 71, was one of the victims.

“We are saddened and grieving over the terrible loss of our coworker who fell victim to an inexplicable act of violence. Our condolences and solidarity go out to her family, friends, and colleagues, and we are fully cooperating with the authorities in their inquiries,” an airline representative remarked in a release.

Police said the incident happened around 5:17 p.m. on Saturday when officers responded to reports of a stabbing. When officers arrived, they found Levno with stab wounds to the neck, along with two other victims who sustained injuries.

Levno was transported to a local hospital and was later pronounced dead. Police said another male victim was stabbed late Sunday night and succumbed to his injuries. His identity has yet to be released. 

Investigators do not believe Caudill and the victims had any connection to each other, and a motive for the attacks is unknown.

Caudill is being held without bail and is facing first-degree murder and first-degree attempted murder charges. 

Anyone with information or surveillance footage of the stabbings is encouraged to contact the Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7967.

A GoFundMe page has also been set up by family and friends of Levno to help with funeral costs.

“Celinda Anne Levno was an incredible woman. She was 71 years young and still working hard as a flight attendant,” a post on the page read.

“She spent her spare time with her loving husband, John, and sister, Melanie. She raised many horses throughout her lifetime and was heavily involved in the Arabian horse industry,” the post continued. 

“She was also an amazing musician and played her flute often in concert. Celinda was the most giving and kind person out there. She did so much for others. Such an amazing and kind woman who was taken way too soon.”
