Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, the man suspected of committing a horrific mass shooting at a Colorado grocery store in 2021, has been deemed competent for trial.
On Friday, District Judge Ingrid Bakke ruled that Alissa is fit to stand trial and will remain in custody at a Colorado hospital, where he will receive medication to maintain his competency.
Bakke had previously declared the suspect unfit for trial in December of 2021, as doctors determined that his condition worsened while in prison. This led to his transfer to a state hospital.
Alissa is accused of carrying out a mass shooting on March 22, 2021, at a King Soopers store, resulting in the tragic deaths of 10 individuals, including a police officer and a store manager.
In her recent ruling, Bakke determined that despite being diagnosed with schizophrenia, Alissa does not suffer from delusions that would hinder his ability to stand trial.
Bakke expressed her strong recommendation for Alissa to remain at the Colorado Mental Health Institute (CMHI) once he is deemed competent, given the seriousness of the case.
The CMHI has approved this request, recognizing its necessity during the ongoing trial.
Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty released a statement expressing satisfaction with the court’s decision, as it provides hope for the victims’ families that justice will be served.
According to court documents and a police report, the defendant previously pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of third-degree assault in 2018, resulting from an incident where he assaulted a high school classmate. He received probation, community service, and anger management treatment as part of his sentence.
Alissa now faces a total of 54 charges, including ten counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.
