Search Reveals Details After Shooting in New York
In the days following the shooting in a New York skyscraper housing the NFL’s offices, police executed search warrants on Shane Tamura’s apartment and work locker. The warrants, now revealed, shed light on the investigation’s findings.
According to the orders signed by Judge Tierra Jones of the District Court, the police searched Tamura’s apartment in the Paradise Royale complex, located at 4505 Paradise Road in Las Vegas. The search, conducted on Tuesday, revealed several items of interest.
A notebook with a farewell note.
A second order allowed the registration of Tamura’s locker number 11 in the hotel’s surveillance room, located on the mezzanine level of the Paris Hotel and Casino. The records indicate that no objects were seized from the locker.
The registration orders were dated July 29 for the apartment and the next day for the locker.
Tamura worked as a surveillance employee at the Horseshoe, connected to the Paris hotel, both owned by Caesars Entertainment.
Researchers believe that Tamura, a Las Vegas casino worker, was trying to get to the NFL offices after shooting several people in the building’s lobby, but he took the wrong elevator.
Police reported that Tamura, who played American football in high school in California about a decade ago, but never in the NFL, had a history of mental illness.
The orders were executed by Nevada law enforcement authorities. The orders indicated that “any and all evidence/property recovered as a result of the attached search warrant be transferred to law enforcement officers of the New York City Police Department or the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a police department of the State of New York”.
The NYPD and the FBI may have been present during the searches and, according to the orders, are the organizations responsible for caring for, controlling, and safeguarding the evidence for its documentation.
