The court set his bond at $100 million and scheduled a three-week trial starting on August 12. Alissa will undergo a mental health evaluation, and the remaining charges against him were upheld. The prosecution presented evidence of deliberate and targeted attacks, while the defense argued Alissa's mental illness and instability.

"Boulder King Soopers shooting suspect claims insanity in plea"

The suspect in the Boulder King Soopers shooting, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity after a detective testified that he targeted and pursued each of the 10 victims he killed during the attack. The preliminary hearing concluded with enough evidence for the case to proceed, and Alissa now faces charges including first-degree murder and attempted murder. The judge dismissed four counts related to illegally large ammunition magazines but set Alissa's bail at $100 million. The detective described how Alissa hunted down and killed his victims, with some survivors and families of the victims present in court. The case will now evaluate Alissa's mental state at the time of the crime, and a jury trial is tentatively scheduled for mid-August.

"Boulder King Soopers shooting suspect deemed fit for trial after significant delay"

The man accused of the Boulder King Soopers shooting, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, has been found mentally competent to stand trial by state evaluators after a long delay. Alissa, who defense attorneys say has schizophrenia, had been undergoing treatment and regular mental competency evaluations since being deemed mentally incompetent in December 2021. The determination that he is now competent means the criminal case against Alissa can move forward, and the District Attorney's Office has filed a motion to schedule a preliminary hearing. Alissa is accused of carrying out a mass shooting in March 2021, killing 10 people.
