Victor Jesus Gomez, 30, was among three people killed in a mass shooting at Greenwood Park Mall on the afternoon of Sunday, July 17, 2022. A resident of Indianapolis, Gomez owned Tru Marble and Granite LLC, was a 2010 graduate of Perry Meridian High School, and was a husband and father of three. The shooter, identified as 20-year-old Jonathan Douglas Sapirman, entered the mall food court armed with a semi-automatic rifle and opened fire. An armed bystander, Elisjsha Dicken, confronted Sapirman and fatally shot him within about 15 seconds of the attack beginning.

Authorities say Sapirman had spent more than an hour in a mall restroom before emerging; his phone was later recovered from a toilet in that restroom. No arrests were made because the shooter died at the scene. Gomez’s family has filed a wrongful death and gross negligence lawsuit against the mall owner, Simon Property Group, and Allied Universal Security Services, alleging failures in security presence and surveillance and seeking a jury trial.

Did anyone who knew Victor or was at the mall that day see anything that might help clarify what happened in those restroom and food court minutes?
