Facebook Live killer: Ohio man claims to have shot 15, vows to ‘keep killing until caught’

Police in Cleveland, Ohio, are continuing a manhunt for a suspect who shot and killed an elderly man during what appeared to be a Facebook Live broadcast.

Steve Stephens, identified by police as the suspect, claimed to have killed 14 other people and promised more murders, but police have so far failed to find any additional victims.

Although police stated Sunday that the murder had been recorded on Facebook Live, Facebook has since clarified that the video was not streamed live, but was in fact pre-recorded.

Facebook told local Ohio news outlet CleveScene that although Stephens did stream live “at one point during the day,” the murder itself was uploaded.

RT has contacted Facebook for comment, but has yet to receive a response.

During a news conference held several hours after the incident, Cleveland Police Chief Calvin D. Williams confirmed that both county and federal law enforcement had joined the manhunt operation to find Stephens.
