My Take

I'll be honest: this is not a profile I write with any pleasure. Omar Mateen was the perpetrator of the 2016 Pulse nightclub massacre in Orlando, where 49 people were killed. As an editor who usually celebrates the people in this database, I can offer him no admiration and no fascination, only the obligation to be accurate and to refuse anything resembling glorification. What stays with me is not his name but the names of the victims, and the question of how ordinary biographies curdle into atrocity. We owe it to the dead to keep asking that, soberly and without flinching.

Overview

Omar Mir Seddique Mateen (Pashto: عمر مير صديق متين; born Omar Mir Seddique; November 16, 1986 – June 12, 2016) was an American mass murderer who killed 49 people and wounded 58 others, 53 of them by gunfire in a mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, on June 12, 2016, before he was killed in a shootout with the local police.
