The suspect in last month’s mass shooting at a grocery store in Boulder, Colo., that left 10 people dead is facing more than 40 new charges in connection with the shooting.
Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa is accused of opening fire in a King Soopers grocery store on March 22, killing 10 people, including a police officer.
Alissa was originally charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder — one count for each of the victims — as well as one charge of attempted murder in the first degree.
Prosecutors filed an amended complaint on Wednesday with 54 total charges. Among the new charges, he faces 32 counts of attempted murder in the first degree, including attempts to murder 11 police officers who responded to the scene.
He also faces one count of first-degree assault, as well as 10 charges of possessing a prohibited large-capacity magazine during a crime.
Alissa was identified as the suspect one day after the shooting and authorities say he allegedly used a Ruger AR-556 pistol during the attack.
According to an arrest affidavit, law enforcement recovered a green tactical vest, a rifle and a handgun from the scene.
Alissa made his first court appearance on March 25, where he was ordered to be held without bail. His next court appearance is scheduled for May 25.
Ten people died after the shooting, including Officer Eric Talley, who was the first officer to respond to the scene.
The other victims were Denny Stong, 20; Neven Stanisic, 23; Rikki Olds, 25; Tralona Bartkowiak, 49; Suzanne Fountain, 59; Teri Leiker, 51; Kevin Mahoney, 61; Lynn Murray, 62; and Jody Waters, 65.
The shooting came one week after shootings at three Atlanta-area spas left eight people dead, including six Asian American women.
President Biden has called on Congress to pass stricter gun reform measures in the wake of the shooting, and has unveiled executive action aimed at addressing gun violence.
