The police said the shooting took place while Finny Da Legend was live streaming, and the violent moment was captured on video before the footage was removed. Ruiz, who reportedly used the alias 'SinCity-MannyWise' on YouTube and ran the channel Sin City Family, turned himself in on Monday. He is now facing two counts of murder.
'The suspect and the victim had previously engaged in some type of conflict using a variety of social media platforms,' police noted.
In the wake of the arrest, YouTube took action against Ruiz's channel. 'Because it violated our Community Guidelines,' the platform stated, 'the channel has been removed.'
While law enforcement has yet to officially release the identities of the two victims, online posts and community tributes across platforms like X, Reddit, and YouTube have widely identified them as Finny Da Legend and his wife.

Haryana Police book 10 social media operators in teacher's death case
Chandigarh: Haryana Police have served notice to 10 social media account operators for allegedly spreading false news on social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook and YouTube in the death case of a playschool teacher. An official spokesperson said that the police have also registered FIRs against social media account operators for publishing inflammatory, false and misleading information on social media accounts. These social media accounts run reports and news without any official confirmation. The account operators are also facing criminal charges for publishing inflammatory posts, false news and misleading information without verification, uploading videos, and thereby disturbing law and order in the district, the spokesperson said. Opposition parties and social activists gathered at Bhiwani's Dhigawa village on Sunday, where family members of a 19-year-old play school teacher have been protesting. The family and villagers are demanding the arrest of those responsible for the "murder". Her family claimed that the police initially refused to lodge a missing persons complaint. However, a case was registered after her body was found. The teacher was found dead with her throat slit in the fields of Singhani village on August 13. The protesters blocked the Delhi-Pilani road, calling for justice for the victim. The blockade lasted for nearly two hours as police intervened to pacify the agitators, following which the blockade was lifted. The case took a U-turn after police said that a suicide note was recovered from the teacher's bag. According to the post-mortem report, no cut marks were found on her throat, the police said. The police added that the autopsy report has denied sexual assault, and that samples have been taken for further forensic examination. Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has transferred the Bhiwani SP and suspended five policemen over the handling of the case. However, opposition leaders allege that the measures are insufficient.

Espionage case: Jyoti Malhotra's custody extended by 7 days
A Hisar court on Monday extended by seven days the judicial custody of YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra, who is under investigation for alleged espionage for Pakistan. Her advocate Kumar Mukesh said she was produced before the court via videoconferencing. Her appearance on August 25 would be in-person when she will be provided with a 2,500-page chargesheet that was submitted by the special investigation team (SIT) of the Hisar police on August 14, he said. YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra 'Thereafter, we will review the chargesheet to ascertain if it contains any evidence,' he added. Travel blogger Jyoti, 33, a resident of Hisar, was arrested on May 16 for allegedly sharing sensitive information with Pakistani operatives. According to police officials, she had been allegedly sharing sensitive information to Pakistani operatives and she was in regular touch with them. 'Initially, she created digital content. Later, during her visit to Pakistan, she came in contact with Pakistani handlers. The enemy intelligence operatives developed her like an asset. Jyoti had links with ISI operatives Nasir Dhillon, Hasan Ali, Shakir and Ehsan-ur-Rahim Danish Ali, an officer at the Pakistani high commission in Delhi,' said a senior police officer, requesting anonymity. As per the chargesheet, Jyoti had visited various places, including Pahalgam in J&K, three months before the terror attack. She travelled to Pakistan thrice, once to China and other countries like Bangladesh and Indonesia. Earlier, Hisar superintendent of police (SP) Shashank Kumar Sawan had said that Jyoti did not have direct access to any information related to the military or defence operations that she could have shared, but she was in touch with Pakistan's officials. 'They were developing her as an asset. She was in touch with other YouTube influencers. They were also in touch with PIOs (public information officers). She used to go to Pakistan, like on sponsored trips. She was in Pakistan before the Pahalgam attack. An investigation is on to establish linkages, if there are any. We are also investigating as we have leads that other people were also involved with her,' the SP had said. The SP said that the YouTuber had visited the Pakistani embassy and uploaded a video in March last year. 'Pakistan is not a normal country for us. Attending several events with them and remaining in touch with Danish and others during the conflict period endangers the unity and sovereignty of the country,' the SP said.
