Murderer in Cleveland streams killing spree on Facebook Live - 'Easter Day Slaughter'
 
Quote:

Cleveland police were searching Sunday for a man who they said killed a person live on Facebook and bragged about having committed many other homicides.

The suspect, identified as Steve Stephens, is considered armed and dangerous, police said after the homicide in northeast Cleveland near the Lake Erie shore. The FBI was providing assistance, a spokeswoman told NBC News.

Steve Stephens, accused of killing a person live on Facebook, in an undated photo provided Sunday by Cleveland police. Cleveland Division of Police
Police said Sunday that the man "broadcast the killing on Facebook Live and has claimed to have committed multiple other homicides which are yet to be verified."

A series of posts Sunday on what authorities said was Stephens' Facebook page complained that he had "lost everything" to gambling. The posts named specific people whom the user wanted to talk to, and at one point he wrote "I killed 12 people today" and wouldn't stop until he could speak to his mother and a second woman.

Later, the user posted: "I killed 15 today because of [the second woman]." The user called it his "Easter day slaughter."

NBC News archived the posts before the account was removed. Police stressed that no other victims had been found.

Stephens was described as black, 6 feet, 1 inch tall, weighing 244 pounds and bald with a full beard. He was last seen wearing a black or dark blue and gray striped polo shirt and was driving a white or cream sport utility vehicle, authorities said.

No other information was immediately available.

This is so sad - especially when it's happening to just random people that are going about their day and just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time :(:( - it could happen to any of us, it's scary

Has there been any talk of any religious affiliations - this suggests to me that may be the case?

Of course, how could I expect any different, just shut-down.

There is more than one type of racism.

I hope he's apprehended soon and that the video stops circulating for the family's sake.

I don't really believe there's been as many victims as he said there's been since there'd be a trail of carnage in his wake if he killed that many people in a short amount of time so I hope that he's lying and that he'll be brought to justice before those lies become a reality.

How awful, so many nutters in the world.
R.I.P. to the poor man who died.

UserSince2005 17-04-2017 12:54 PM

Anyone got a link to the vid?

Cherie 17-04-2017 12:57 PM

I hope the link has been removed, it serves no purpose for the general public other than voyerism

Yeah my first thought when he said he'd killed 15 was that he was trying to scare people in the area, I think it's just the one old man who's been killed :(

He still hasn't been found yet, apparently he's heading for other states nearby :worry:

I havent seen it, but I am interested to hear the dialogue, understand their emotions, see the setting etc, there are some things that an article cant explain to you with words. I can see why people may want to see it, it doesnt necessarily mean they're sick and twisted. I just personally would know that I'd regret it if I did see it, so I'm laying down my curiosity for this one.

Only a defenceless old man murdered whilst on his way home from a family meal - is that not reason enough for a 'fuss' in your book.

RichardG 17-04-2017 02:11 PM

i just saw it :worry: terrible i hope they catch him soon

Beso 17-04-2017 02:30 PM

Sounds like a jilted boyfriend blaming his ex for it all..all he is is a coward.

Victim's daughter posts Father's Day photo in touching tribute

Robert Godwin Snr’s daughter, Debbie, has posted a touching tribute to her late father on social media.

She shared a photo of the pair from Father’s Day in 2015 in a new Facebook post this morning.

Robert Godwin Snr and his daughter Debbie
She has used social media to remember her father and urge people not to share the video which shows him being killed.

Mr Godwin’s family has also told people not to donate to any crowdfunding pages on GoFundMe or other websites, as they have not set up or endorsed any fundraising campaigns.

Withano 18-04-2017 09:27 AM

I'm not sure if its appropriate to share unconfirmed good news, but an article that was published 40 minutes ago declared that no further bodies have been found. Suggests to me that the figure of 13 is probably inaccurate.
I hope the killer is found soon, must be awful for the family.
