Las Vegas couple killed after apparent online streamer clash
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – Sunday's murder of a husband and wife stems from an online beef between two YouTube streamers arguing over, among other things, copyright infringement, the 8 News Now Investigators' review of hours worth of archived video reveals. Finny Da Legend, one of two of the shooting victims, and fellow streamer Sin City Manny, had argued for several months, the video appears to show. The two trolled each other, disagreed, and had lengthy conversations over the course of hours on a myriad of streams and sometimes different social media handles. Sin City Manny, whose real name is Manuel Ruiz, 41, will appear in Las Vegas Justice Court Tuesday morning. He faces two charges of open murder. By Monday morning, Ruiz's streams seem to have been scrubbed from the Internet. But Finny Da Legend's stream included some of Ruiz's stream, where Finny and a cast of online guests criticize his prowess of Las Vegas. 'He's the least informed Vegas person out there,' one of Finny's co-streamers said in an online broadcast that lasted over five hours. Someone with the screen name Kevin, another streamer on Finny's channel, in the same post, directly addressed the feud over copyright. That portion of the stream, from just five days ago. 'If anyone should be striked down, it should be Manny,' Kevin said. 'That's who needs the copyright strikes. That's who needs the axe.' It is unclear what exactly the copyright issue entails. That comment appears sometime after the opening sequence of Finny's stream, which included a copyright disclaimer and an obviously fake portrayal of President Donald Trump saying, 'I want to say '[Expletive] Sin City Family and [Expletive] Manny.' Sin City Family, apparently, include other online streamers who have banded together. Finny Da Legend's streams remain online, with approximately 4,000 subscribers. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Jason Kelce Reveals the Truth on Major Personal Decision
Jason Kelce Reveals the Truth on Major Personal Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Jason Kelce has been doing a lot since he retired from the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024. Since then, the Super Bowl-winning center has gotten himself a deal with ESPN as a football analyst, which also gave birth to his own talk show on the esteemed sports network, "They Call It Late Night With Jason Kelce." Advertisement On top of that, the 37-year-old also runs a very successful podcast with his brother, Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs, entitled "New Heights." Kelce has also ventured into multiple businesses. Apart from being a part-owner of Cincinnati, Ohio-based alcoholic beverage company Garage Beer, the NFL icon also decided to invest in his passion for golf. In May, Kelce was officially announced as a part-owner of the Sullivan County Golf Club in Liberty, New York. The seven-time Pro Bowl center joined actor Bill Murray and entrepreneur Mike Madden, the son of NFL legend Mike Madden, among others, as part of the golf club's high-profile ownership group. In a recent interview, Kelce opened up about his major personal decision to invest in Sullivan County. According to the former Eagles star, it was renowned golf writer and editor Tom Coyne who paved the way for him. Advertisement "So Tom and I played golf and did a podcast that he has," Kelce said, via kelcebrothers on Instagram. "And we just kind of got to know each other through that. "And, you know, I've been getting more involved with golf. I'm doing some stuff with my nonprofit, Underdog ... But (I've) been working with Tom and doing some things on that front. Jason Kelce on the ESPN postseason countdown set.© Kirby Lee-Imagn Images "And then he all of a sudden tells me, 'Hey, do you want to go play a hoopie with Bill Murray?' I'm like, '(Expletive) Yeah, I want to go play a hoopie with Bill Murray.' And that's when we kind of got to talking. "It sounded like this nine-hole course up in the Catskills in Sullivan County was going to be pretty killer. ... From there, we kind of came together, and now we've got a golf course." Advertisement While it was not disclosed how much Kelce invested in this new business venture, there's no denying that purchasing a stake in a golf course had to burn a hole in his pockets. However, as Kelce said during the announcement, his relationship with the sport of golf has grown over the past few years, and he came to the conclusion that it was due time to make "a long-term commitment" by putting his money where his mouth is.
