Boulder, Colorado, attack suspect now facing 118 counts of attempted murder, other charges in county court
Boulder attack suspect to appear in court days after Pearl Street attack Boulder attack suspect to appear in court days after Pearl Street attack Boulder attack suspect to appear in court days after Pearl Street attack The suspect in Sunday's attack in Boulder, Colorado, is due to appear in county court on Thursday afternoon, where he faces 118 state criminal charges, including 28 counts of attempted murder. Prosecutors are expected to file formal charges against 45-year-old Mohamed Soliman. He's currently being held in the Boulder County Jail on a $10 million bond and is expected to be charged in his 3:30 p.m. hearing with attempted murder and charges related to the Molotov cocktails he allegedly used in the attack. According to court records, he now faces 28 counts of attempted first-degree murder -- 14 of which are "with extreme indifference, and 14 are "after deliberation -- all class 2 felonies; 14 counts of first-degree assault with extreme indifference, a class 4 felony; two counts of use of an explosives or incendiary device, a class 2 felony; 14 counts of attempted use of an explosives or incendiary devices, a class 3 felony; and 60 violent crime sentence enhancers. Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty said on Monday afternoon that Soliman will be charged in state court with 16 counts of attempted first-degree murder, eight of which are "with intent and deliberation," the other eight of which are "with extreme indifference." He's also set to be charged with two counts of use of an incendiary device and 16 counts of attempted use of an incendiary device. Boulder District Attorney Michael Dougherty speaks during a press conference at the Boulder Police Station on Monday, June 2, 2025. Chet Strange / Stringer via Getty Images Soliman also faces federal hate crime charges, but that would come in his separate federal court case. He's set to appear in federal court in Denver on Friday. J. Bishop Grewell, acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Colorado, said additional federal charges might also be forthcoming. News cameras won't be allowed in either courtroom, but the Boulder County Court hearing will be live-streamed, and CBS News Colorado will provide updates during and after that hearing. The cases and potential charges stem from Sunday's attack in which Soliman is accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at members of the group Run for Their Lives, injuring 15 people and a dog. Two of those people were airlifted to UCHealth's burn unit due to the severity of their burns, hospital officials said. The group walks through the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder every week, advocating for the release of Israeli hostages taken to Gaza in Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023 attack. Video from multiple witnesses appears to show Soliman during the attack holding two jars or bottles with a clear liquid that investigators say contained gasoline. Soliman was arrested at the scene and taken into custody without incident, according to Boulder Police Chief Stephen Redfearn and witnesses' video. Mohamed Soliman appears in Boulder County Court on Monday, June 2, 2025, a day after police say he threw Molotov cocktails at members of a group advocating for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza. He's seen on a courtroom camera with bandages on his head and ear. Boulder County Court Soliman appeared in Boulder County Court with a bandage on his head and ear on Monday. He was advised of his rights, ordered not to have any contact with the alleged victims, and the bond amount was upheld by the judge. The hearing lasted approximately five minutes. Soliman is being represented by the State Office of the Public Defender.

Audi Driver Hits Woman's Car On the Highway and Flees. Now Her Realtor Friend Is Offering a Discount to Anyone Who Finds Them
A New York woman went viral on TikTok after publicly defending her friend, who she said was recently involved in a hit-and-run with an Audi driver. Kaitlyn Chen (@chenkaitlyn), who's been documenting her 'realty journey' in New York and Long Island, shared footage of what appeared to be her friend just moments after a car accident. The clip quickly took off online. The incident happened at 12:43pm ET on May 30 on the Belt Parkway before Exit 7, on the Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn. In the short video, Chen's friend begins recording right after being hit. Instead of pulling over to exchange info, the other driver appears to flee the scene. 'This dude just hit my car,' she said in the video. 'He's trying to run away.' Dashcam footage shows the car—a dark green Audi RS5 with no license plates and tinted front windows—driving off. Chen said her friend was never able to identify the driver, but she's now crowdsourcing help. 'Help my homegirl identify this car,' she wrote in the caption. 'Lots of good karma coming your way.' Chen even offered a reward: A discount on buying or selling a home through her services. But as of Thursday, no leads. The culprit is still unknown. Meanwhile, Chen's video has racked up more than 9.8 million views. Hit-and-Run Drivers Can Be Hard to Find Tracking down a hit-and-run driver isn't easy, especially when the car has no front or back plates and the dashcam footage doesn't clearly show the driver's face, like in the case of Chen's friend. Still, there are ways to strengthen your case beyond just asking TikTok for help. According to Houston-based law firm Gibson Hill Personal Injury , the first step is always to file a police report. From there, gather any available witness statements and surveillance footage, if applicable. Chen's friend was on the highway, so that wasn't an option—but those steps can still be crucial in other situations. The firm also recommends checking the scene for car debris, which could help identify the vehicle. And if you have the resources, hiring a personal injury attorney could make a real difference, as they can investigate on your behalf and help push an insurance claim forward. Even if the driver can't be identified, insurance companies will often cover injuries and damages under uninsured motorist policies. And in rare cases, someone might come forward—an eyewitness who recognizes the car or even the driver. So, it looks like Chen's friend did everything right. But given how notoriously tough these cases are to crack, it's still unclear if even a viral TikTok will be enough to track down the culprit. Viewers Think It's a Lost Cause Most commenters on Chen's video pointed out the obvious: The driver had clearly gotten away, and the chances of tracking them down seemed slim. 'He didn't try running away, he got away,' one viewer said. 'No plate, too? Y'all not finding bro,' another wrote. 'Yeah, you'll never get them,' a third commenter added. Others flagged a bigger issue: The car appeared to be wrapped—a vinyl film covering the original paint. That might look sleek, but it also makes the car harder to identify, complicating any efforts to track it down. 'I would unwrap it as soon as I got home,' one TikToker quipped. A second viewer echoed this sentiment, writing, 'Car is going back to the wrap shop tomorrow!' 'A wrapped RS5 in New York [with] no plates,' a third viewer noted. 'You 100-percent might as well just take the car to a shop because you aren't finding him and insurance is just gonna raise ya rates, so just take the loss and pay out of pocket.' On Tuesday, Chen replied to a commenter to say that the person TikTok sleuths had flagged wasn't the culprit. But she hasn't posted a broader update on whether her friend has found the driver.
