Sol Pais

Common card · No. 238756

Sol Leonina Pais (February 1, 2001 – April 15, 2019) was an American student who received national attention after she became the suspect in a large FBI manhunt in 2019. Pais had flown from Miami to Colorado and purchased a shotgun from a private dealer. After her parents informed authorities that she was missing, she was traced to Colorado. Police designated Pais as Armed and Dangerous; a BOLO alert was put out, and a large manhunt ensued. After Pais was reported as missing, Miami police discovered her alleged infatuation with the Columbine High School massacre, particularly with its perpetrators, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. With the 20th anniversary of the massacre about a week away, and Pais showing intent to purchase a shotgun in Colorado, police believed she was planning a copycat massacre around April 20. On April 15, she committed suicide by a self-inflicted gunshot wound, before the manhunt began. Her body was found on April 17.
