DENVER — An 82-year-old woman from Colorado, who was injured earlier this month in a Molotov cocktail attack on pro-Israeli demonstrators, has passed away, as noted in court documents submitted on Monday.

According to a statement from the Boulder County District Attorney’s Office, Karen Diamond succumbed to “the severe injuries sustained in the attack.”

Last week, Mohamed Sabry Soliman was charged with 12 counts of hate crimes following the June 1 incident in downtown Boulder. He allegedly attempted to kill the eight individuals who were harmed by throwing Molotov cocktails—bottles containing ignitable liquid—at them, as well as targeting others in the vicinity.

Soliman’s attorney, David Kraut, entered the not guilty plea on Soliman’s behalf during a hearing Friday. Soliman was being represented by public defenders who do not comment on their cases to news media.

Investigators say Soliman told them he intended to kill the roughly 20 participants at the weekly demonstration on Boulder’s Pearl Street pedestrian mall. But he threw just two of his over two dozen Molotov cocktails while yelling “Free Palestine.”

Soliman, who is also being prosecuted in state court for attempted murder and other charges, told investigators he tried to buy a gun but was not able to because he was not a “legal citizen.”

Soliman did not speak during the hearing last week, and he listened to translations provided by an Arabic interpreter through headphones.

The Egyptian national has been living in the U.S. illegally with his family, according to federal authorities.

Soliman posed as a gardener and wore a construction vest to get close to the group before launching the attack, prosecutors allege.

Prosecutors say the victims were targeted because of their perceived or actual national origin. An attack motivated by someone’s political views is not considered a hate crime under federal law.
