*A heated online rivalry between two YouTubers culminated in a fatal shooting near the iconic Bellagio fountains in Las Vegas on Sunday, leaving a popular vlogger and his wife dead.
As SandraRose.com reports, the incident, which unfolded during a livestream, shocked viewers as it captured the violent end to a feud between Manuel Ruiz, known as SinCity-MannyWise, and Finny Da Legend.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department identified Ruiz, 41, as the suspect, who was taken into custody shortly after the attack.
The conflict, rooted in a yearlong dispute over copyright strikes on YouTube, escalated when Finny mocked Ruiz in a video posted the previous week, reportedly labeling him as mentally ill and potentially suicidal. Tensions boiled over when the two crossed paths on the Vegas strip. During the livestream, Finny’s wife, Bubbly, attempted to de-escalate, shouting, “Don’t bring your as* over here.”
Despite her efforts, Ruiz opened fire, killing Finny and then Bubbly, who screamed, “Are you f*cking kidding me?” as she tried to turn the camera toward the assailant before being shot.
