At a court hearing Thursday, prosecutors formally filed 118 charges against Mohamed Soliman, the suspect in Sunday’s antisemitic attack on Pearl Street.
The charges include 14 counts of attempted first-degree murder — one for intent and one for extreme indifference for each victim — along with first- and third-degree assault, use and attempted use of incendiary devices, animal cruelty and multiple crime-of-violence designations required under Colorado law. The case involves 15 victims and one injured dog. Victims range in age from 25 to 88, and three remain hospitalized.
Soliman appeared in custody, and his attorneys waived a formal reading of the charges. A preliminary hearing is set for July 15 at 1:30 p.m., with Soliman waiving his right to an earlier hearing within 35 days. The court also approved a protective order.
District Attorney Michael Dougherty called the community response to the attack “incredible,” praising the coordinated work of Boulder police, the FBI and federal prosecutors. He added that the charges reflect the gravity of the crime and emphasized the need to continue lifting up the victims, their families and the Jewish community.
“This is a time to come together as a community and do what Boulder County has done in the past when we face tragedy, challenge and crisis, which is lift one another up, support one another and hold your loved ones close and be a positive force to those around you,” he said.
