Kelsey Breanne Meadows was 28 and a resident of Taft, California, when she was killed at the Route 91 Harvest festival in Las Vegas on October 1, 2017. She worked as a substitute teacher at Taft Union High and was remembered by the school and community for her dedication and kindness.

Gunfire began at about 10:05 PM from a room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel. The shooter, identified as Stephen Paddock, 64, acted alone, and investigators from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the FBI found no evidence that anyone else assisted in the attack. The reports describe Paddock’s actions as meticulously planned, but say his motive remains unclear.

Meadows was one of 58 people killed that night and among more than 800 injured. Her family and community mourned her loss and recalled her warm, caring nature. If anyone knew Kelsey or has information about her activities that evening, please share what you know.
