Overview

  • The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department released seven body-camera videos and two 911 call recordings from Tamura’s interactions with law enforcement between 2022 and 2024.
  • The records detail a 2022 welfare check over his suicidal threats, a 2023 casino trespass arrest and a 2024 traffic stop during which officers documented his handgun possession.
  • Tamura left a three-page note accusing the NFL of concealing concussion risks and requesting posthumous testing for chronic traumatic encephalopathy, which New York examiners have now begun.
  • Authorities are reviewing whether his prior involuntary mental health commitments should have barred him from legally purchasing firearms under state and federal laws.
  • NYPD and FBI teams are scrutinizing security protocols at 345 Park Avenue to address vulnerabilities exposed by the July 28 shooting.
