UPDATE

Boulder city officials said Karen Diamond, 82, died of severe burns sustained in the horrific Pearl Street firebomb attack of June 1 - and the suspect now faces first-degree murder charges in the antisemitic crime.

Diamond passed away last week, the lone fatality. She was treated at the University Colorado Hospital burn unit in Aurora. 

The Boulder County district attorney's office has identified 29 attack victims suffering various degrees of burns and injuries. Holocaust survivor, Barbara Steinmetz, 88, was among those hurt in the attack.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis said: "This loss is deeply felt by the Boulder community and our entire state, particularly within our strong Jewish community." District Attorney Michael Dougherty said: "Our office will fight for justice for the victims, their loved ones, and the community."

Shortly after the attack, Steinmetz, the holocaust survivor, said the crime “has nothing to do with the Holocaust, it has to do with a human being that wants to burn other people."

“It’s about what the hell is going on in our country,” the furious Steinmetz said on NBC. “What the hell is going on?”

"We’re Americans," she said. "We are better than this. That’s what I want them to know. That they be kind and decent human beings."
