Dr. Nancy Van Vessem was 61 when she was killed on November 2, 2018, in a mass shooting at a Tallahassee yoga studio. An internist and the chief medical director for Capital Health Plan, she also served on the Florida State University faculty and was widely respected in the community.

The shooter, identified as 40-year-old Scott Paul Beierle, entered the Hot Yoga studio and opened fire, killing Dr. Van Vessem and 21-year-old Florida State student Maura Binkley and wounding five others before dying at the scene. Investigators reported no direct connection between the attacker and the victims or the studio; authorities later described the attack as driven by the shooter’s misogynistic motives.

No further arrests were announced. If anyone knew Dr. Van Vessem, her work, or has information about the events that night, please share what is known.
