According to multiple law enforcement sources, his Filipina girlfriend, Marilou Danley, who returned to the United States was blocked by federal agents in Los Angeles International Airport on October 3 and is now declared as a “person of interest” by Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo who is leading the investigation. Authorities are hoping that interviewing Danley would give a clearer picture of her boyfriend’s deadly attack.
The mass shooting incident is the 16th police shooting in Las Vegas and is now considered as the most fatal mass shooting incident in modern American history.
