DA will file first-degree murder charges in death of Karen Diamond.
Karen Diamond, one of the people burned in the antisemitic firebombing attack on Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall earlier this month, died Wednesday, according to a Monday morning email from the Boulder Jewish Community Center.
“There are simply no words to properly express the pain of this tragic loss,” said the email, which was signed off by JCC Executive Director Jonathan Lev and JCC Board Chair David Paul. “Karen was a cherished member of our community, someone whose warmth and generosity left a lasting impact on all who knew her.”
Diamond, 82, was among the people attacked while participating in a walk by the group Run for Their Lives, which advocates for the release of the remaining 50 Israeli hostages held by Hamas since an October 2023 attack.
As a result of Diamond’s death, the Boulder County District Attorney’s Office announced that it is filing additional charges — including first degree murder — against Mohamed Sabry Soliman, who is accused in the Pearl Street attack.
