WTH is GOING ON?

itiswhatitis — Sun, 16 Apr 2017 22:11:57 GMT

Please hunt him down like the animal he is.

Cleveland, Ohio

Stephen Stevens went live with his broadcast of shooting an older man, seemingly for no other reason than because he could. All of this happened less than two hours ago.

Graphic images show Stevens talking to the elderly man before shooting him in the head and killing him.

THIS IS A MAN WHO WANTS TO DIE......no trials, no jury just give him what he wants.

We've been watching this for the last couple of hours. We have family there close by in the University Circle area.

If if you are in Cleveland, please be careful and know that thoughts and prayers are with you!

They are saying he was driving a white Ford Fusion with temporary tags.

He seems to be blaming a lot of this on his former girlfriend! I read that he worked as a case manager in a children's mental health facility!

@hoosieroriginal The Cleveland police and mayor are supposed to have a press conference at 6:25 p.m. EST

A guy named Steve Stephens broadcasted a murder of an elderly gentleman on Facebook Live and claims to have killed about 15 others but only one death has been confirmed. Police are still searching for him.

In Cleveland, a man named Steve Stephens, shot and killed a random man on the street, who was elderly, while streaming to Facebook Live. It was awful. His FB has been taken down but you can still find the graphic video on the web.

We could safe taxpayers some money here. Clearly this beast wants to die. No way he thought he could get away with this? WTH? Is Facebook worth all of this? What a cowardly, ratchet thing to do. I'm sick to my stomach with disgust.

Now I'm reading it's because of a woman he dated. What did the old man do? Be in the wrong place......

I'm with you on this. And the sooner the better. Heinous, cowardly act.

“And I’m about to keep killing until they catch me,” Stephens said, according to NBC.

No information about the victim was immediately available.

Video of the murder was posted at 2 p.m. but soon taken down. It was partially captioned “Easter day slaughter.” The account hadn’t been active since 3:30 p.m. Eastern time.

The FBI's Cleveland field office said it was assisting Cleveland police in the investigation, as was the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation.

Cleveland State University, which is located near the suspected shooting scene, posted a message on its Twitter account urging people to shelter in place or stay away from the area.

PLEASE STAY SAFE FOR THOSE OF YOU IN THE AREA UNTIL THEY CATCH OR KILL THIS MAN.

He posted previously that he lost a lot of money gambling at a casino. Between that and the ex-girlfriend issues, he claims he "snapped."

Again, my thoughts and prayers are with those in Cleveland. Hoping he is caught soon!

@ValuSkr - I would have to question anyone who would want to watch something like that

So he creates his own problems and then it's a justification for killing innocent people? Sounds like he's trying to make a case for a "mentally incompetent" defense. A sorry excuse for a human being. No wonder the girlfriend is an "ex" (if she's even still alive).

FB live is when a person notifies his/her friends that they are going live. The viewer has no reason to question anyone's intent and they can be shocked at what happens next. Please don't blame the friends or FB of what a sick and twisted mind does on FB live.

"Social media" at its worst. More like ANTI-social media...

My nephew goes to Case and we were happy when he called us that he was almost to our home and not to worry. He was coming for Easter dinner and decided to leave a little earlier.

His Mom was at our house helping with the meal when we heard it on the news.

Wow. He's one messed up dude.

He said he's a case worker for Beech Brook.

It's a foster care behavioral type of place.

"He says in the video she “drove him crazy.” They were supposed to be married, he said. He also says in the video “we are all human and we all have breaking points.”

Stephens also says in the video that he went to talk to his mother, but she didn’t care when he told her he was feeling suicidal and homicidal. He said he blames her for driving him to kill along with his ex-girlfriend."

whoa.

The press briefing was just that--brief. Seemed to be an attempt to get him to turn himself in and encouraged anyone to contact them with information. They confirmed one death and no recent sightings.

@Nataliesgramma Thank goodness your nephew is safe! We have some loved ones at Case too. I heard the campus isn't on lockdown, but several streets like E 102 to E 108 have been blocked off by police.

He will be caught or cornered. I also hope he gets his wish and gets neutralized.

Re: WTH is GOING ON?

I predict he wants 'death by police.'

Thats the attention he desires.
