David and Rivkah Costello and their five children lived across the street from the suspect in Sunday’s violent attack on Pearl Street Mall.

The man accused of throwing a Molotov cocktail at a group participating in a peaceful demonstration on the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder filed an asylum claim in September 2022 after coming into the United States on a visitor visa the month before, federal officials said.

While Mohamed Soliman occupies a cell in Boulder County Jail in Colorado, hundreds of miles away, his wife and five children are also in detention, at the hands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
