Deadly double-shooting on Las Vegas Strip allegedly tied to years-long feud between rival YouTubers
The deadly double shooting on the Las Vegas Strip was allegedly sparked by a years-long feud between two streamers, with one gunned down alongside his wife while they filmed live, according to reports. The victims in Sunday's shooting outside the Bellagio have been identified by friends as being Rodney Finley, 44, and Tanisha Finley, 43, an Arizona couple better known on YouTube as Finny Da Legend and wife Bubbly, according to Fox5. They had been in a feud with fellow YouTuber Sin City Manny, aka Manuel Ruiz, 41, the suspect now charged with double murder, according to an investigation by 8NewsNows. Advertisement That feud started in 2023 when Ruiz allegedly pepper-sprayed Tanisha Finley, with the rival streamers regularly escalating their animosity online, the report said. 6 Streamer Finny Da Legend, real name Rodney Finley, was one of two shot dead on the Las Vegas Strip on Sunday night. Finny Da Legend/Youtube 'This was brewing, this brewed for two years,' Derek Ware, a friend of the Finleys, told Fox 5. Advertisement Video circulating online shows Rodney Finley livestreaming from the Strip on Sunday night — when a man steps up and starts shooting just feet from the camera. The next day, Ruiz walked into a precinct to hand himself in, and appeared in court the next morning on two charges of open murder with a deadly weapon. 6 Streamer Sin City Manny, real name Manuel Ruiz, faces two counts of open murder with a deadly weapon. Andrew Nomura / KSNV Ruiz claimed to cops that he'd seen Rodney Finley reach toward his waistband and say, 'What up cuz?' leaving him convinced his rival had a gun, according to an arrest report documented by News 3. Advertisement After shooting Finley, Ruiz also shot his wife because he saw a 'shiny black object in her hand,' thinking that was also a gun, he told cops. However, no guns were found near the Finleys, and no weapons were seen in any of the videos posted online, according to Las Vegas police 6 Finley was live streaming from the Strip at the moment of his murder. Fini da Legend via Storyful Detectives used casino surveillance video to track the suspected gunman running from the scene and into a valet area, where he threw away his hat and T-shirt, according to an arrest report seen by KSNV. Advertisement The feud reportedly started in 2023 when Ruiz allegedly pepper-sprayed Tanisha, according to Ware, who did not say exactly what caused that first incident. 6 Finley and his wife Tanisha both died in the shooting. Fini da Legend via Storyful The pair's dispute continued online, Ware said. '[Rodney's] wife said she was OK, so he was just like, 'OK, let's handle this another way. [Rodney] controls his emotions very well. That's what I liked about him the most,' Ware said. Finley hosted a livestream, provoking free conversation about any topic — including his rival YouTuber Ruiz. 6 Finley's friend paid tribute to him as a loving son, father, grandfather and husband. Finny Da Legend/Youtube 'Manny was welcome to come on and defend himself. He kept it fair. It wasn't just a bash. It wasn't just, 'let's talk about Manny, talk bad about Manny.' It's just everybody's experiences,' Ware said. The war of words between the pair had escalated as Ruiz lost followers and Finley's online popularity grew, Ware claimed. Advertisement If Ware hadn't been resting ahead of an upcoming surgery, he could well have been on the Strip with his friend that night, he said. 6 The deadly shooting was allegedly sparked by a two-year-long feud. Fini da Legend via Storyful 'That's just sick. What do you get out of that? I don't get that. You just ruined two families,' Ware said. He paid tribute to his late friends, describing Finley as a loving husband, son, father and grandfather. Advertisement 'If something was wrong, he would just always check up on me. He's donated to people [who] needed help online,' he said. Tanisha also lived up to her online name in real life, he added. 'She would have fun everywhere she went. People wanted to be around her,' Ware said.

Trump administration asks federal court not to dismiss charges against Milwaukee County judge
Protesters gather outside of the Milwaukee FBI office to speak out against the arrest of Milwaukee Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan (Photo by Isiah Holmes/Wisconsin Examiner) Prosecutors for the Trump administration filed a brief Monday requesting that a federal judge not dismiss the government's indictment against Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan. Dugan faces criminal charges after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, along with agents from the Drug Enforcement Agency and FBI, arrived in the Milwaukee County Courthouse April 18 to arrest 31-year-old Eduardo Flores-Ruiz for being in the country illegally. Flores-Ruiz was set to appear in Dugan's courtroom that day for a status hearing on misdemeanor charges against him. When Dugan learned that the agents were outside her courtroom, she confronted them and learned they only had an administrative warrant, which was issued by an agency official and not a judge. An administrative warrant doesn't allow agents to enter private spaces in the courthouse such as Dugan's courtroom. Later, while the agents were waiting for Flores-Ruiz in the hallway outside the main courtroom door, Dugan sent him and his attorney out a side door into the hallway. One of the agents rode down the elevator with Flores-Ruiz and he was later arrested on the street. Dugan-DOJ-Filing Dugan was charged with concealing an individual to prevent arrest, a misdemeanor, and obstruction, which is a felony. Last month, Dugan's attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the case against her, arguing she was acting in her official capacity as a judge and therefore immune from prosecution for her actions and that the federal government is impinging on the state of Wisconsin's authority to operate its court system. The case drew national attention, with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and FBI Director Kash Patel both making public statements about Dugan's arrest before she'd even been indicted. Legal experts have questioned the strength of the federal government's case and accused Trump officials of grandstanding to make a political point. In the Monday filing, federal prosecutors argued that dismissing the case would ignore previously established law that allows judges to face criminal charges. 'Such a ruling would give state court judges carte blanche to interfere with valid law enforcement actions by federal agents in public hallways of a courthouse, and perhaps even beyond,' the prosecutors argued. 'Dugan's desired ruling would, in essence, say that judges are 'above the law,' and uniquely entitled to interfere with federal law enforcement.' Dugan is set to appear for trial on July 21.
