Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity in the 2021 shooting of people in the parking lot and then inside a King Soopers grocery store in the college town of Boulder.
No one, including Alissa’s lawyers, disputes he was the shooter. The three-week trial is expected to focus on whether or not Alissa, who after the shooting was diagnosed with schizophrenia, was legally sane by being able to distinguish right from wrong.
“The victims were random, but the murders were absolutely deliberate and intentional,” Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty told jurors in his opening statements.

Boulder King Soopers shooting trial: Opening statements begin in 'brutal and horrific and emotional' case

Editor's note: Denver7 has chosen to not include the defendant's name in our coverage of the trial. This trial aims to determine if the defendant was insane or not at the time of the shooting, not if he shot and killed people at the King Soopers, which the defense is not contesting. Therefore, we have removed words such as "alleged" and "suspected" from our trial coverage when referring to him.

UPDATE: ‘The rest of the day was just running,’: More King Soopers employees testify in Boulder mass shooting trial
The prosecution is expected to pick up right where it left off Monday by calling more witnesses to the stand in the Boulder King Soopers mass shooting case.

Monday morning, FBI photographer Mark Suban was called to the stand. Following the shooting, Suban was tasked with reviewing the surveillance footage and body camera footage on the day of the shooting and making an animation of where everyone and everything was in the store during the shooting.

In addition to the eye-witnesses, prosecution also called a number of law enforcement personnel to the stand who explained how they investigated the weapons Alissa used and the movement of his phone and car in the months leading up to the shooting.
Cross-examination was minimal, with the defense only asking a couple clarification questions to one witness last week.
Due to Alissa’s insanity plea, the trial is an insanity trial, meaning whether the defendant committed the shooting is not being debated, but his guilt and whether he was insane at the time of the offense are.
