Families of Boulder King Soopers shooting victims frustrated as suspect remains incompetent to stand trial

DENVER — The families of the 10 people killed inside a Boulder King Soopers store last year are frustrated that the man suspected in the shooting remains incompetent to stand trial, continually stalling the criminal case against him.

Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa faces more than 100 charges in connection to the March 22, 2021, mass shooting, but his case has been repeatedly delayed as he had been found incompetent to stand trial. Authorities have attempted to restore him to competency since he failed an evaluation in December and again in April.

Boulder District Judge Ingrid Bakke again ruled him incompetent at a court hearing Friday but said that there was “substantial probability” that he could be restored to competency. She set a new hearing to evaluate his status for Jan. 27.
