Edgar Quinonez, 31, was shot and killed at the Las Vegas Athletic Club on North Rainbow Boulevard on Friday afternoon, May 16, 2025. A longtime employee of 15 years, Quinonez was working the front desk when a 34-year-old man later identified as Daniel Ortega entered the busy gym armed with an Olympic Arms PCR-223 rifle and multiple magazines. After a brief exchange with another employee, Ortega opened fire; Quinonez was fatally wounded and three other people were injured.

Ortega fired 24 rounds before his rifle malfunctioned. As he tried to leave the facility he was confronted by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officers; an officer-involved shooting struck Ortega, who was later pronounced dead. Investigators say no definitive motive has been released and no known connection between Ortega and Quinonez has been reported. Quinonez is remembered by colleagues as warm, funny and hardworking.
