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.

Horrific. My thoughts go out to all the families of the victims

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.
