Prosecutors are finally set to lay out their case against a mentally ill man accused of shooting and killing 10 people at a Colorado supermarket more than two years ago. A judge will hold a hearing Tuesday morning to decide if there is enough evidence for Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa to go on trial in the 2021 shooting at the King Soopers store in Boulder. No one so far has disputed that Alissa fired the fatal shots. But the hearing is the next required step in his prosecution. Alissa has schizophrenia and his case was stalled until recently because of his mental health.

Lawyers to deliver closing arguments in trial of 2 police officers charged in Elijah McClain's deathLawyers will make closing arguments in the trial of the first two officers to be prosecuted in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain. The closing arguments will happen Tuesday. McClain, a Black man, was stopped in a Denver suburb while walking home from a store wearing a face mask. A 911 caller reported him as suspicious. McClain was put in a neck hold and pinned down by police before being injected by paramedics with a powerful sedative. Witnesses testified that ketamine was what killed McClain. Prosecutors said his restraint by the officers triggered a series of health problems that made it hard for McClain to breathe and vulnerable to a fatal overdose.
