MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY, AUG 28 – Shane Tamura, who killed four people at NFL headquarters, suffered chronic headaches linked to possible brain disease and sought treatment including neurological exams, ESPN reported.
- Authorities say the gunman, Shane Tamura, killed four people at 345 Park Avenue on Monday, Aug. 28, 2025, and critically injured an NFL employee.
- Las Vegas medical sources say he suffered chronic headaches that began during his high school football days and worsened over years, prompting extensive medical help.
- Police say the gunman left a suicide note referencing `CTE chronic traumatic encephalopathy` and requested his brain be studied, after regularly seeing doctors, including a neurologist, and receiving yearly MRI exams and head injections.
- Victim identities show the toll, including an off-duty NYPD officer, two building employees, and a security guard, with Goodell saying the NFL employee was 'stable and improving.'
- Law enforcement released a preliminary timeline showing Tamura's movements, and experts caution it could take weeks before autopsy and brain study confirm any CTE link.
