This undated photo provided by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department shows Anthony Wrobel. Wrobel is accused of opening fire on a picnic for a group of employees of a Las Vegas Strip casino-resort, killing a woman and critically injuring a man on Sunday, April 15, in what investigators called workplace violence.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Authorities on Tuesday identified a Las Vegas casino executive who was killed when an employee opened fire at a company picnic.

Mia Banks, vice president of casino operations at The Venetian, was shot in the chest and head Sunday at a park near McCarran International Airport, the Clark County coroner's office said.

The shooter, who critically wounded another casino-resort executive, remained at large.

Las Vegas Sands Corp., which operates the luxury property, said Banks, 54, had worked at The Venetian since it opened in 1999.
