Tamura, 27, lived in Las Vegas and was most recently employed as a casino security guard.
His dad was an 18-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department, sources said.
Tamura drove cross country, getting to Manhattan just before he stormed into the Park Avenue skyscraper Monday evening with an AR-style rifle.

He double-parked his BMW in front of the building, which houses the headquarters of the NFL, his intended target for the rampage.
How the shooting unfolded
- Reports of the shooting at 345 Park Ave. start coming in around 6:28 p.m.
- Shane Tamura, 27, is seen getting out of a black BMW between 51st and 52nd streets with an M4 rifle.
- He enters the lobby and turns right, where he shoots police officer Didarul Islam, 36, dead.
- Tamura guns down a woman cowering behind a pillar in the lobby, sprays more bullets and walks toward the elevator bank — where he shoots dead a security guard crouching at his desk.
- One more man reports being shot and injured in the lobby. He was in critical but stable condition.
- The gunman allows a woman to walk out of the elevators unharmed before heading up to the 33rd floor, where building owner Rudin Properties’ offices are located, “and begins to walk the floor, firing as he traveled.”
- One man is shot and killed on that floor before Tamura shoots himself in the chest.
- It’s unclear how long the mayhem lasted. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch posted on X at 7:52 p.m.: “The scene has been contained and the lone shooter has been neutralized.”
Tamura shot and killed two civilians and an NYPD officer in the lobby, and wounded another, before riding the elevator to the 33rd floor where he killed another office worker before turning the gun on himself.
Upon searching his body, cops found a rambling note in his wallet blaming the NFL for his apparent CTE — a degenerative brain disease brought on by repeated blows to the head — despite never actually playing in the league.
