A US man who shot and killed another man while streaming it live on Facebook claimed in the video that he snapped because of a woman, police say.
Cleveland police are searching for Steve Stephens, the suspect who police said walked up to an elderly man on Easter Sunday and shot him while filming on video, Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams said.
The victim was identified as 74-year-old Robert Goodwin Sr.
Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson publicly urged Stephens to turn himself in to police and not to “do any more harm to anybody”.
In the video, Stephens said he snapped because of a woman, and then later claimed to have killed more than a dozen other people. Williams said police have not verified any other shootings or deaths.
The chief also said they’ve been talking with family and friends of Stephens, who is employed at Beech Brook, a behavioural health agency near Cleveland.
Authorities said Stephens broadcast the video live on the social media network. It was up for about three hours before it was removed. Stephens’ Facebook page also has been removed.
