Another victim, believed to be Finny's partner, was also killed in the shooting, as reported by the Fox affiliate
Finny, who had more than 3,000 subscribers on YouTube, was live streaming when a man, another content creator, came up to him.
At least seven shots were fired in footage shared online.
Finny's partner could be heard screaming after the shots, yelling, "Are you f**king kidding me?" before the camera was thrown to the ground.
Tributes have been paid to the content creator.
Devastated pal Derek Ware described Finny as a "good father" and a "friendly guy."
"If something was wrong, he would just always check up on me," he told KVVU-TV.
"He's donated to people that needed help online."

Ware revealed Finny's partner was known as Bubbly and paid tribute to her "infectious" personality.
"She would have fun everywhere she went," he said.
Cops revealed that the shooter and one of the victims had an argument on social media before the horror unfolded.
Manuel Ruiz, 41, turned himself into police hours after shots were fired on the Las Vegas Strip.
"At this point, we believe we have the suspect identified and that this is an isolated incident, knowing that the suspect and the victim had previously engaged in some type of conflict using a variety of social media platforms," cops said at the time.
The Bellagio is a luxury five-star resort on the Strip and is known for the famous Fountains of Bellagio attraction.
The shooting comes almost eight years after 60 people were killed when Stephen Paddock opened fire at a music festival on the Las Vegas Strip.
He fired more than 1,000 rounds from his room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel.
More than 800 people were injured.

Judge says Bruce Springsteen 'wouldn't be too happy' to hear his music was used to breach safety order
Judge Christopher Callan said that he was sure Springsteen 'would not be too happy' to see his music being used in this way and that the man's actions were not in line with the singer's message as a performing artist. The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty in the District Court to the breach of a safety order contrary to section 33 (1) of the Domestic Violence Act 2018. He received a one-month suspended sentence in March 2025 and later lodged an appeal against the severity of that term. Garda Rachel O'Mahony told the District Court Appeals Court that on June 20, 2024, the injured party reported to gardaí that the man had breached a safety order on three different occasions. She said that on dates between February 2, 2024, and June 20, 2024, the man sent the injured party text messages to her mobile phone. Garda O'Mahony said that these messages included videos taken at a Bruce Springsteen concert in Croke Park and a YouTube link. Garda O'Mahony said that the woman said that this communication put her in fear. She also presented a victim impact statement to the judge which was not read aloud in court. Defence counsel for the man, Seosaimhín Ní Chathasaigh BL, said that her client cooperated fully with the gardaí and did not dispute the charges. She said that he has sincere remorse for the hurt caused by his actions and this is not a pattern of behaviour which will continue in the future. Ms Ní Chathasaigh confirmed to the judge that the safety order has already been extended to last until 2030 with consent from her client. ADVERTISEMENT Learn more She said that her client is not seeking to avoid accountability but having a conviction would have life-altering effects in regards to his employment or possible future travel. Judge Callan said the victim impact statement was very clear about the extent of the fear that the injured party experienced. He said that the videos were 'intending to give a certain message' to the injured party, which was explained in her victim impact statement. Judge Callan decided to remove the man's criminal conviction on the condition that he pays a donation of 1,000 euro to Women's Aid, noting that the safety order remains in place until 2030.
