Roy McClellan, one of those lucky enough to survive the Oct. 1 mass shooting that killed 58 of his fellow concert-goers and injured hundreds in Las Vegas, has been killed in a hit-and-run in southern Nevada.
McClellan of Las Vegas was killed Nov. 17 while hitchhiking on State Route 160 in Pahrump, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) west of Las Vegas. Those who know McClellan say he disputed the official accounting of the shooting.

His widow, Denise McClellan, told KSNV-TV she can’t understand why her 52-year-old husband survived the shooting, only to die in a hit-and-run. She says the mass shooting “was messing with his head” and that he was undergoing therapy. The Nevada Highway Patrol says it is seeking the driver of a Chevrolet Camaro with front-end damage. source
Stephen Paddock unleashed gunfire at an outdoor music festival from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel-casino before killing himself.
McClellan joins several other shooting survivors who have since met untimely deaths.
