Neil Brian Gandler, 42 and a resident of Palo Alto, California, was fatally shot outside a 24 Hour Fitness in Las Vegas, Nevada, on December 29, 2015. Gandler parked his car at the gym that evening and was shot about three hours later; the Clark County Coroner’s Office ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound to the torso.

Las Vegas police identified and arrested two suspects days later. On January 3, 2016, officers took into custody 27-year-old Kyle Staats and 19-year-old Megan Hippie; both were charged with first-degree murder and attempted robbery. Public reports said investigators believed the shooting was linked to an attempted robbery, though specific motives and a full sequence of events were not detailed.

Anyone who knew Gandler, his movements that night, or who has information about the incident is asked to come forward.
