Authorities also found a vehicle with Nevada plates registered to Tamura at the scene, with a rifle case inside, sources said.
Shane Tamura, identified in connection with the July 28 Midtown Manhattan shooting, is reportedly a Las Vegas native and holder of a Nevada concealed carry permit. Unverified sources and early media reports, including from the Hindustan Times, claim Tamura graduated in 2016 and previously played high school football as a running back.
He is said to have attended both Golden Valley High School and Granada Hills High School in the Los Angeles area, although these affiliations have not been confirmed by school officials or law enforcement. Some outlets speculate that Tamura had aspirations of a football career, possibly aiming for the NFL, and suggest personal disappointments may have played a role in his actions, though no official motive has been released.
As of now, these biographical details remain uncorroborated, with no official confirmation from local athletic departments, police briefings, or public records.
More details are sure to come out in the next few hours. However, this admin will be down for maintenance.
