Susp’s kin neighbors from hell: residents
Alleged Boulder supermarket shooter Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa and his family have long been nightmare neighbors, residents claimed — as new details emerged about his history of violence and anger.
Alissa’s family bought a sevenbedroom home (above) in Arvada, Colo., for $634,000 in 2017, and have since clashed with neighbors on the once-quiet street — with some growing so fed up that they moved away, residents told The Post.
“They harassed several neighbors. Caused two neighbors to move,” said Dawn Losasso, who has lived on the block in the “tightknit neighborhood” for 25 years.
“You see lots of people going in and out of that house at all hours, especially late at night.”
Another neighbor, T.J. Bresina, said that the “erratic, chaotic” arrival of the Alissas eventually left many on the street “pissed at the neighbors who sold to them.”
“We’ve had problems with them,” he said, calling the family a “chaotic, disruptive addition to the neighborhood.”
“Always a ton of people over there,” Bresina said of the family that “never introduced themselves” since moving in.
“Their children are always running in the street at odd hours. You have to watch out coming down the street,” he added, with “so many cars parked out front all the time.”
Alissa’s brother-in-law, Usame Almusa, told Britain’s The Sun Wednesday that Alissa (inset) was “a loner” who lived in the basement.
The disruptions came to an alarming head at around 3 a.m. Tuesday when FBI agents — speaking from “a Humvee with a megaphone,” according to Bresina — ordered the Alissas out of the home hours after the massacre in Boulder, 20 miles north.
Ahmad Alissa, 21, allegedly shot up the supermarket Monday afternoon, killing 10 people, including a responding cop, before he was arrested.
Investigators continued their search for a motive Wednesday, as acquaintances detailed the suspect’s troubling temper.
Angel Hernandez, a former high-school wrestling teammate, told The Denver Post that the accused mass murderer was “a good guy” with a violent temper.
“You could tell there was a dark side in him,” said Hernandez. “If he did get ticked off about something, within a split second, it was like if something takes over, like a demon. He’d just unleash all his anger.”
Another ex-teammate, Dayton Marvel, said Alissa was “kind of scary to be around,” recalling an unnerving outburst after Alissa lost a match in his senior year.
“He actually lost his match and quit the team and yelled out in the wrestling room that he was, like, going to kill everybody,” Marvel said. “Nobody believed him. We were just all kind of freaked out by it, but nobody did anything about it.”
