Officer Didarul Islam, 36, who was guarding the building on a paid security job when he was killed, had served as a police officer in New York City for over three years. He was an immigrant from Bangladesh and was working a department-approved building security job when he was shot.

Police executed a search warrant at the Las Vegas apartment of Shane Tamura, where the items obtained included a goodbye note and a bipod for a rifle.

The attorney for the man who sold what would become the deadly weapon in a mass shooting in New York City earlier this week said his client legally sold his co-worker the gun.
