Christopher James Chris Hazencomb, 44, of Camarillo, California, was killed while protecting a friend during the Route 91 Harvest country music festival mass shooting in Las Vegas on October 1, 2017. Attending the concert with friend Nikki Torres, Hazencomb shielded her with his body when gunfire erupted from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel and was struck by a bullet.

He was transported to a local hospital in critical condition, taken off life support, and died the following day. His actions allowed Torres to survive and return to her husband and two young sons. Stephen Paddock was identified as the sole gunman and was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound; his motive remains unknown.

If anyone knew Christopher or was near the Route 91 crowd that night and has information about his actions, please share what you remember.
