A tragic mass shooting unfolded on July 28, 2025, at 345 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, leaving four people dead, including an off-duty NYPD officer. The gunman was identified as Shane Devon Tamura, a 27-year-old from Las Vegas, Nevada. Authorities say Tamura acted alone and died from a self-inflicted injury inside the building. His motive remains under investigation.
Among the victims was Officer Didarul Islam, a three-year NYPD veteran and father of two, with a third child on the way. He was working security at the building when he was fatally shot. Three other victims—two men and a woman—also lost their lives, while one man remains in critical condition. Officials have not released further details about the civilian victims.
Tamura legally owned a handgun and had a history of mental health concerns. Surveillance footage shows him entering the building alone. The skyscraper houses major corporate offices, including those of KPMG and the NFL. Authorities confirmed that ten lifeguards were on duty at the time, and law enforcement responded within minutes. A woman in the elevator was spared by the gunman, who allowed her to leave unharmed.
New York leaders, including Mayor Eric Adams, expressed condolences to the families and praised the first responders for their swift actions. A GoFundMe page has been set up to support Officer Islam’s family. The investigation is ongoing, and officials emphasize that there is no ongoing threat to the public.
