Mateen was born as Omar Mir Seddique[1] in New York City to Afghan parents, with his father being a supporter of the Mujahideen.[10][11][12] He attended Martin County High School for one year and also St. Lucie West Centennial High School, where a schoolmate said he was bullied. He reportedly held two degrees in science from Indian River State College, received in 2006 and 2007.[13][14]
In 2006, he filed a petition for a name change, adding Mateen as his surname.[1]
He had worked for the security firm G4S Secure Solutions in Jupiter, Florida, since 2007.[15][16][17] He held an active firearms license and a security guard license.[17][18] A former coworker who worked with Mateen in a gated community in western Port St. Lucie described him as "unhinged and unstable". He also said that he frequently made homophobic, racist, and sexist comments, and talked about killing people.[1][19] The coworker stated he complained to G4S about Omar Mateen "several times."[20]
Mateen married an Uzbekistan-born woman in April 2009. They were married for four months, after which they separated; they eventually divorced in July 2011.[13][21][22] Following the nightclub attack, Mateen's ex-wife told media outlets that during their marriage, Mateen was mentally unstable, and would beat her and keep her completely separated from her family.[23] He reportedly remarried and had a three-year-old son.[24] His first wife also claimed that he was bipolar and had a history with steroids.[22]
At the time of the shooting, he lived about 100 miles (160 kilometers) from Orlando, Florida.[10][11] According to Florida Department of Law Enforcement records, he had no criminal record in Florida. Mateen lived in Fort Pierce, Florida, but received mail at his parents' home in nearby Port St. Lucie.[13]
