BOULDER, Colo. — Rikki Olds thought the noise she heard coming from outside was someone repairing the roof of the King Soopers. Seconds later, she tilted her head as a man in dark clothing and a tactical vest ran through the west doors and shot her once, killing her, the lead investigator testified Monday.
Jurors somberly watched defendant Ahmad Alissa's actions on store surveillance video, which was shown on a courtroom monitor, along with maps and digital re-enactments, in the third day of Alissa's murder trial in Boulder County.
The footage showed victim Denny Stong jump between cash register 14 and 15, and start crawling before the defendant allegedly shot him three times.
Olds was the fourth of 10 people who lost their lives that day. Stong was the fifth. The bodies of Neven Sanisik, Kevin Mahoney, and Tralona Bartkowiak were in the Table Mesa shopping center parking lot, shot just seconds before and the first three to die that day in March 2021.
