On July 28, 2025, 27-year-old Julia Hyman was shot and killed inside 345 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan during an attack that began in the building’s lobby. The shooter, wearing body armor and carrying a high-powered rifle, opened fire in the lobby before moving upward through the tower’s public space. Hyman, a white woman who worked on an upper floor used by Rudin Management, was reported to have been sheltering in a fortified bathroom when she briefly stepped out after a lull and was seen and fatally shot by the attacker.

Officials said the gunman died by suicide on an upper level; police identified him as Shane Devon Tamura and reported finding a note in which he claimed to suffer from chronic traumatic encephalopathy and blamed the NFL. Authorities described a preliminary account that he had intended to reach NFL offices in the building but took the wrong elevator bank and entered Rudin Management instead. A funeral service for Hyman at Central Synagogue was attended by hundreds.

Does anyone who worked in that building or knew Julia have details about her workday that could help clarify what happened that evening?
