Laura Anne Shipp, 50, was killed on October 1, 2017, while attending the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival on the Las Vegas Strip. She had moved to Las Vegas from Thousand Oaks, California, about five years before the attack and had been at multiple days of the festival. Her brother, Steve Shipp, confirmed her death to ABC News; her son also lived in Las Vegas and a GoFundMe was created to support the family.

The shooter fired into the crowd from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino during Jason Aldean’s closing set. Authorities identified 64-year-old Stephen Paddock of Mesquite, Nevada, as the lone attacker; he had been staying at the casino and had assembled a large number of firearms in his room. Paddock died of a self-inflicted wound as officers closed in. Fifty-eight people died that night, with a 59th victim later dying of injuries in 2019.

If anyone who knew Laura or saw her at the festival can share memories or information that might help her family, please come forward.
