The suspicious man of shooting four people in the center of Central Manhattan last month had threatened years before suicide while dealing with depression and symptoms of brain shock, according to a phone call that his mother made to the police.
On the afternoon of September 12, 2022, Shane Tamura was inside a room in the Las Vegas motel suffered from a mental health crisis and threatened suicide, his mother told a dispatcher of 911. “He is under the care of the doctor for depression, brain shock, such as sports brain shocks, chronic migraine and insomnia,” he said.
The call was one of several calls to 911, documents and videos of body cameras published Tuesday by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department with respect to Tamura, who, according to officials, had a history of mental health problems and meetings with the application of the law.
The authorities have said that Tamura, 27, was trying to attack the corporate offices of the National Football League when he entered a large climb in Park Avenue at the end of last month and opened fire.
He killed the 36 -year -old New York police officer, Didarul Islam, who was the duty of work as a security guard; SECURITY OFFICIAL ALAND ETIENNE, 46; Blackstone Wesley Lepatner employee, 43; and Julia Hyman, an employee of a real estate company.
The authorities said Tamura furred fatally in the torso.
Two officials familiar with the case said that the former high school soccer player left a note on the scene mentioning “CTE”, which is believed to mean chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a brain condition caused by head injuries.
In the September 2022 call, Tamura’s mother said her son had a hidden transport permit for a gun, which he kept in a backpack. Tamura had been inside the motel room and began to cry and hit things, saying that his mother was there was getting worse, he said.
She said she left and was calling from inside her toyota Camry silver, out of his son’s view. “He didn’t say he did a plan, he just said he can’t stand it,” the mother told the dispatcher.
A police officer of the Las Vegas Metro that day submitted an emergency application for Tamura to be admitted to a mental health or hospital center, according to a copy of the application.
Tamura was Bon in Las Vegas and his family finally ended in California, where he enrolled at at least two secondary schools in the Los Angeles area.
He began at Golden Valley High School, in the suburb of Santa Clarita, where he played running for the football team. A classmate told NBC News that in its third year, Tamura was not going to be eligible to play due to bad grades. His qualifications improved, but Tamura did not like it not to be the initial corridor when he returned, the classmate said.
Tamura then transferred to Granada Hills Charter, where he continued impressing in the football field. It is not clear if he ever graduated, and he did not seem to have continued playing football after high school.
At some point after high school, Tamura returned to Las Vegas, where he had several documented meetings with the police, even threatening to suicide.
In addition to the September 2022 call, the police were called about the threatening suicide of Tamura at least once again.
In August 2024, someone called 911 about his son, according to a registration of the call and images of the Police Chamber. The person who called said that Tamura previously had a hidden transport permit for a weapon, which since then had expired, and suffered from bipolar disorder, anxiety and depression.
In the video, a police officer arrives at an Apartamentos de Las Vegas complex, where the paramedics are already in a room with a without shirt, apparently checking their vital signs while feeling quietly on a sofa.
“He called his mother, he made some statements about not wanting to be here, this is all for him,” a paramedic tells the officer. “He has been calm and cooperative with us, but told us he had a gun in his bag. But he doesn’t want to go to the hospital.”
The interaction lasts a few minutes and remains calm, with tamura at a time that tells the officer where the weapon is. After putting on a shirt and some sandals and grabbing some articles, tamura, the officer and the paramedics leave and go down, where Tamura climbs a stretcher that wait and is leaving the apartment complex.
That day another emergency application was made for Tamura to be admitted in a mental health center or hospital, according to a copy of the application.
In May of that year, Tamura was also arrested for driving without a rear plaque, video camera video of the traffic stop. Cooperative appeared and was finally summoned by operating an unregistered vehicle and driving without a valid license, according to a copy of the appointment, which shows that it was released after being summoned.
However, the previous year, Tamura had had a more volatile interaction with the police in a Las Vegas casino.
According to an arrest report, Tamura had been playing when security personnel asked him to show his identification, which he refused to do. When asked to leave, he went to collect his profits, but he also refused to show identification to claim what he said they owed him, around $ 5,000, according to the report.
It was then that the security personnel called 911. Tamura also called 911, according to the audio of the call, saying: “They stole my money.” The body of the body of the body shows the police personnel and the casino who speaks with Tamura in a room, and an officer grew furious after Tamura repeatedly refused to give his name.
Finally they handcuffed him, they took him outside and repeatedly told him to leave, according to the video. When he did not, they handcuffed him again and arrested him, taking him to Clark Counting Detention Center.
The final interaction of Tamura with the Police would be on July 28, when it entered the height of the height in 345 Park Ave. and opened fire.
Police recorded the Las Vegas apartment the day after Tamura and found a notebook with a farewell note, bottles of prescription pills, an empty weapon box, 9 mm rounds, a bipode for a rifle and a rifle cartridge, according to a search warrant. Police said he used a rifle in the murders.
