Boulder King Soopers shooting suspect showing symptoms of schizophrenia, prosecutor says

DENVER — The man charged with killing 10 people in the 2021 Boulder King Soopers shooting is showing symptoms of schizophrenia, which is keeping him from being found competent to stand trial, according to prosecutors.

Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 22, remains incompetent to stand trial, Boulder District Court Judge Ingrid Bakke ruled again Friday. It’s “reasonably likely” that Alissa can be restored to competency, she said.

Alissa is charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder, 47 counts of attempted first-degree murder, one count of first-degree assault, 10 counts of felony possession of a prohibited large-capacity magazine, and 47 crime-of-violence sentence-enhancers in connection to the March 22, 2021, shooting.
