The Killers' crew members and road crew faces allegations of sexual misconduct, harassment, and assault back in 2009, prompting the band to conduct an internal investigation. The investigation found 'no corroboration' of the alleged assault, but acknowledged that the temporary crew member felt unsafe and was bullied. The band apologized for their handling of the situation and expressed a commitment to prevent such incidents in the future.

Several individuals associated with the artist 'The Killers' did not. However an Ohio death row inmate, not associated with the artist, alleged racism tainted a jury in his 2017 murder trial. Three white men, not associated with 'The Killers', were convicted for the murder of Ahmaud Arbery and had a history of making racist comments and using racial slurs. Although The Killers' official social media account @Killers shared a band member's anti-racism statement as they showed support for the Black Lives Matter movement following George Floyd’s death in 2020, so this indicates a positive flag for not being involved in racism, these three white men separately are associated with racism.
