Teri Lee Leiker, 51, worked at the King Soopers on Table Mesa Drive in Boulder, Colorado, for 31 years. Known for a joyful personality and a big smile, she was a longtime employee who loved her coworkers, customers and the community. In recent years her relationship with a fellow employee, Clint, had grown from friendship into a committed partnership and they were making plans together.

On the afternoon of March 22, 2021, a gunman entered the supermarket and opened fire. Ten people were killed that day, including Teri Leiker, and numerous others were wounded. Police engaged the shooter and took him into custody at the scene; investigators say a Ruger AR-556 pistol was used. The attack happened in the store where Leiker had spent much of her life and where colleagues remember her warmth and dedication.

If anyone worked with Teri at that King Soopers or remembers her from the Table Mesa community, please share memories or any information that could help document her life.
