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.
