On June 3, 1999, a shooting spree at an Albertson’s supermarket on Sahara Avenue and Valley View Boulevard in Las Vegas left four people dead and one critically injured. Lucille Alice Tarantino, a 60-year-old store employee, was shot in the head in the rear of the store and died instantly. Three other customers — Thomas Michael Darnell, Carlos Chuck Leos, and Dennis Troy Sargeant — were also killed; a fifth victim, Zachary T. Emenegger, was shot twice but survived.

The attacker, 23-year-old ex-Marine Zane Michael Floyd, had earlier assaulted a 20-year-old woman in his apartment at shotgun point; she escaped and ran. Floyd then walked to the nearby Albertson’s and began shooting. Police arrived while Floyd was exiting the store, engaged him briefly, and took him into custody after he put down the shotgun. He admitted to officers that he had shot the people in the store.

Floyd was subsequently tried and convicted on multiple counts including four first-degree murders with use of a deadly weapon; the jury imposed death sentences for the murders. If anyone knew Lucille Alice Tarantino or has information relevant to her killing, please share what you know.
