Austin Cooper Meyer, 24, of Marina, California, was killed during the mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas on October 1, 2017. Meyer was attending the outdoor country music event with his girlfriend as the festival concluded; the attack began during Jason Aldean’s performance when a suspect opened fire from a nearby hotel room.

The shooter, identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock of Mesquite, Nevada, fired from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay casino into the crowd of more than 22,000 festivalgoers. A total of 59 people were killed and over 700 wounded. Investigators concluded Paddock acted alone and that he died of a self-inflicted gunshot as officers moved toward his room; no accomplices were identified and Marilou Danley, Paddock’s girlfriend, was cleared of involvement.

Austin Meyer’s death was one of many lives lost that night. If anyone knew Austin, where he spent time, or has memories to share about him, please contribute what you can.
