Las Vegas shooting victim: Austin Davis, Colton, California

California resident Austin Davis is among those killed in this week’s mass shooting on the Las Vegas Strip.
The local plumbers and pipefitters union in Colton, California, confirmed Davis’ death, but out of respect for the family declined to give any statements when reached by phone on Wednesday. “Austin, Davis, UA member of local 364, died in the terrible Las Vegas shooting,” the United Association Local 364 union wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday morning. “In his memory, we post these photos.” A GoFundMe page for a memorial fund had raised over $14,000 of a $20,000 goal as of noon on Wednesday.
