A tragic firebomb attack on Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado, has claimed the life of a Jewish man, in what local authorities are investigating as a possible hate crime. According to Forward, the attack occurred late Sunday night when an incendiary device was thrown at a storefront, leading to a fatal fire.

The victim, identified by community members but not yet officially released, was known as a prominent figure in the local Jewish community. Boulder Police are currently investigating the incident, working with federal law enforcement to determine whether antisemitism was the motive.

Local leaders have condemned the attack, calling it an assault not just on the Jewish community, but on the entire city. A memorial has already formed on Pearl Street, with residents leaving flowers, candles, and messages of unity.

This comes amid a concerning rise in antisemitic incidents across the U.S. Jewish advocacy groups, including the ADL, have called for heightened security and community vigilance, while urging swift justice for the perpetrators.
