One of the victims gunned down by crazed Manhattan mass shooter Shane Tamura has been identified as a Cornell University grad who worked for the management company that owned the Midtown skyscraper, sources told The Post.
Julia Hyman was gunned down when Tamura stormed the ritzy Park Avenue office tower where she worked on Monday evening, the sources said.
Hyman, a 2020 Cornell graduate, met her end when the gunman mistakenly took the elevator to the 33rd-floor offices of Rudin Management, where she was an associate, according to the sources and her LinkedIn profile.

How the shooting unfolded
- Reports of the shooting at 345 Park Ave. start coming in around 6:28 p.m.
- Shane Tamura, 27, is seen getting out of a black BMW between 51st and 52nd streets with an M4 rifle.
- He enters the lobby and turns right, where he shoots police officer Didarul Islam, 36, dead.
- Tamura guns down a woman cowering behind a pillar in the lobby, sprays more bullets and walks toward the elevator bank — where he shoots dead a security guard crouching at his desk.
- One more man reports being shot and injured in the lobby. He was in critical but stable condition.
- The gunman allows a woman to walk out of the elevators unharmed before heading up to the 33rd floor, where building owner Rudin Properties’ offices are located, “and begins to walk the floor, firing as he traveled.”
- One man is shot and killed on that floor before Tamura shoots himself in the chest.
- It’s unclear how long the mayhem lasted. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch posted on X at 7:52 p.m.: “The scene has been contained and the lone shooter has been neutralized.”
Three others were also killed, including Blackstone exec Wesley LePatner — a married mom of two — and NYPD officer Didarul Islam, whose wife is due to soon give birth to their third child. The third, a security guard shot in the lobby, has yet to be identified.
The maniac, who drove from Las Vegas to attack the NFL HQ, ended his rampage by shooting himself, cops said.
