Neysa C. Davis Tonks, 46, of Las Vegas, Nevada, was killed on October 1, 2017, in the mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival. The gunman fired into the crowd from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino; the attack began at about 10:18 PM and resulted in 58 fatalities and hundreds injured.

Tonks was a mother of three sons and worked for Technologent, where colleagues described her as a great mother, colleague and friend. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s investigation identified Stephen Paddock, 64, as the sole perpetrator; he had checked into Room 32-134 days earlier and had accumulated a large quantity of firearms and ammunition. Paddock died of a self-inflicted wound before police could arrest him, and the final report said investigators could not definitively determine his motive.

An endowment in her name, the Neysa Davis Tonks Mentor Endowment, was established at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas University Libraries. If anyone knew Neysa or has information to share about her life, please contribute to this thread.
