Police were hunting for 62-year-old Marilou Danley, with an police handout describing her as an "Asian female", being sought for questioning. Later they confirmed they had located her and that she was no longer 'a person of interest'
A Hyundai Tucson vehicle was also being searched for, which is understood to be owned by Ms Danley. It too has been discoverd.
Her social media profiles describe her as a "gambling and casino professional" who lived in Reno, Nevada.
She is described as being Asian, around 4ft 11ins tall, and she is said to weigh around 111lbs.
[h=3]Who is Marilou Danley?[/h]Marilou Danley had at first been described as a female companion and "roommate" of the suspect. It was later reported that she was identified as the shooter's wife.
She is said to have travelled with him before the attack.
LVMPD tweeted: "Marilou Danley is being sought for questioning re the investigation into the active shooter incident. If seen please call 9-1-1!."
The force also posted a picture of Ms Danley.
Later Sheriff Jim Lombardo confirmed they had located Ms Danley.
As terrified revellers fled for their lives, officials received reports of an "active" gunman and patrol vehicles descended on the popular US Strip.
Some officers were seen taking cover behind their vehicles, while others carrying assault rifles ran into the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) later confirmed that one suspect was dead and that he is believed to have acted alone.
However, the force said officers were now searching for the female companion who had travelled with the suspect before the shooting.
They are also looking for two vehicles associated with the gunman - a Hyundai Tucson Nevada/114B40 and a Chrysler Pacifica Nevada/79D401.
