Tamura played as a runner with Granada Hills Charter for a part of her career in high school.

The New York Police Commissioner, Jessica Tisch, said that Tamura had a “documented mental health history.” Recently he led from Las Vegas to New York, and the officers found additional ammunition, a revolver, a backpack and medications inside his vehicle.
The initial investigation shows that his vehicle traveled through Colorado on July 26, then Nebraska and Iowa on July 27, and then in Columbia, New Jersey, recently like 4:24 pm on Monday, with his vehicle entering New York City shortly after, Tisch said.

After entering 345 Park Ave. and “Sprinkle it with shots,” the elevator took the offices of the Rudin Management Real Estate Management firm on the 33rd floor, where he shot and killed an additional person. Tamura was found dead so it is believed to be a self -inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said.
ABC News has communicated with Rudin Management to comment. The police have not identified why it went to that floor or if it has any connection with the company.
“His motives are still under investigation, and we are working to understand why he went to this particular location,” Tisch said.
