US EditionGunman in Manhattan Shooting Faced Mental Health Struggles and Had a History of Run-Ins with Las Vegas Police, Records Show | News Channel 3-12
CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA, AUG 6 – Las Vegas police released bodycam footage revealing Shane Tamura's repeated mental health crises and police encounters prior to his 2025 New York shooting spree that killed four people.
- On July 28, 2024, Shane Devon Tamura fatally shot four people at 345 Park Avenue in New York before killing himself with an AR-15 style rifle.
- Tamura had a documented history of mental health struggles, including depression, bipolar disorder, and prior psychiatric holds in 2022 and 2024, with his suicide note requesting brain study for possible CTE.
- Approximately ten months prior to the shooting, he legally acquired an AR-15 rifle from his supervisor at the Horseshoe Las Vegas casino, where he was employed on overnight surveillance shifts, and he had several encounters with law enforcement in Las Vegas.
- Police removed a backpack containing a gun and other firearms items from his Las Vegas apartment after executing a search warrant the day after the shooting, and body camera footage showed prior incidents including trespassing and traffic violations.
- The released reports and footage raise questions about whether Tamura's mental health history should have affected his gun ownership, as federal law does not bar firearm possession after certain psychiatric holds.
