Colorado supermarket shooter found guilty of murdering 10 people in 2021
The Colorado jury convicted Ahmad Alissa on 10 counts of first-degree murder, which stemmed from the 10 deaths at a Kings Sooper supermarket on March 22, 2021. He was also convicted on other attempted murder charges.
The suspect in a 2021 mass shooting was found guilty on Monday on all murder charges related to the supermarket attack in Boulder, Colorado.
The Colorado jury convicted Ahmad Alissa on 10 counts of first-degree murder, which stemmed from the 10 deaths at a Kings Sooper supermarket on March 22, 2021. He was also convicted on attempted murder charges.
Lawyers for Alissa did not contest that their client was the shooter during the trial, but attempted to argue that he was not legally sane at the time of the attack, and could not tell right from wrong, according to NBC News.
The verdict comes after years of delays because of questions around Alissa's competency. He was later diagnosed with schizophrenia, but the jury determined he was legally sane at the time of the attack, per CBS News.
The 10 victims have been identified as 23-year-old Neven Stanisic, 49-year-old Tralona Bartkowiak, 20-year-old Denny Stong, 51-year-old Teri Leiker, 59-year-old Suzanne Fountain, 61-year-old Kevin Mahoney, 62-year-old Lynn Murray, 65-year-old Jody Waters, 25-year-old Rikki Olds, and 51-year-old responding Boulder Police Officer Eric Talley.
