Boulder Terror Attack Victim Dies Suspect Faces Murder Charges

Karen Diamond, an 82-year-old victim of the June 1 firebombing attack on Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall, has died from severe injuries sustained during the incident, prompting the Boulder County District Attorney's Office to file first-degree murder charges against suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman. Soliman, who threw Molotov cocktails at demonstrators advocating for Israeli hostages in Gaza while reportedly shouting "Free Palestine," now faces two counts of first-degree murder, along with 66 additional counts related to 14 other victims, bringing the total number of victims identified to 29. The attack also injured 13 people and a dog, and Soliman has pleaded not guilty to federal hate crime charges. Authorities revealed Soliman used incendiary devices including Molotov cocktails and flammable liquids in the assault, which is being investigated as a terrorist act. Soliman, a Colorado Springs resident living in the U.S. illegally on an overstayed visa, was arrested near the scene and has shown no remorse, according to investigators. The DA’s office and community have expressed commitment to justice for the victims and support for the Diamond family amid this tragic event.
