YouTuber Finny Da Legend named as Las Vegas shooting victim killed on livestream after 2 shot dead near Bellagio casino
A YOUTUBER has been named as a victim in a Las Vegas shooting that saw two people killed. Finny Da Legend was shot dead near the famous Bellagio hotel and casino on the Las Vegas strip on Sunday night. 2 2 Another victim, believed to be Finny's partner, was also killed in the shooting, as reported by the Fox affiliate KVVU-TV. 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.

2 people killed in shooting on Las Vegas Strip near Bellagio fountains, police say
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Two people were shot and killed late Sunday on the Las Vegas Strip, not far from the landmark Bellagio fountains, in what authorities said was being investigated as an 'isolated incident' between people who knew each other. The suspected shooter surrendered Monday at a police station in the nearby city of Henderson, Las Vegas police said. They identified him as 41-year-old Manuel Ruiz and said he is expected to be charged with two counts of murder with a deadly weapon. The case and details for a possible attorney for Ruiz were not available Monday morning in online court records, and the Clark County Public Defender's Office said it wasn't immediately clear if he had been appointed a public defender. Undersheriff Andrew Walsh told reporters in a briefing that the suspect and victims had been feuding on social media. Officers on patrol heard gunfire and then found two people lying on the sidewalk, Walsh said. They were pronounced dead at the scene. Police didn't immediately identify the victims. The shooting happened on one of the busiest stretches of the Strip. The dancing Bellagio fountains, which soar up to 460 feet (140 meters) into the air, play every 15 minutes on the weekends between 8 p.m. and midnight. The Associated Press

Video shows armed suspect killed by police after deadly Las Vegas gym shooting
Newly released video shows the moment Las Vegas, Nevada, police opened fire on an armed suspect as he ran out of a health club after killing one person and injuring multiple others. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) said 34-year-old Daniel Ortega was struck by gunfire from officers on Friday afternoon and later died. Had he survived, he would have faced one count of murder with a deadly weapon, three counts each of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon on a protected person, and five counts of assault with a deadly weapon, according to LVMPD Assistant Sheriff Jamie Prosser. She said the incident was the third officer-involved shooting this year, adding that at this time in 2024, there were three officer-involved shootings as well, and all three were fatal. Friday's shooting took place at about 1:30 p.m. on Friday, when Ortega walked into the Las Vegas Athletic Club, armed with a rifle. Prosser said Ortega walked past several individuals who were leaving the gym when he approached an employee at the front desk. Ortega then started pacing around the front desk area when a second employee approached him. The two exchanged words, Prosser said, when Ortega raised his rifle and started shooting, striking the employee. Police said Ortega continued to go deeper into the gym while firing additional rounds, then made his way back to the front lobby, where he fired even more rounds until his gun malfunctioned. Investigators learned Ortega fired 24 rounds during the incident. Ortega was struck by gunfire when he fled the building and fell to the ground where officers were able to take him into custody. Medical personnel responded and transported Ortega to an area hospital where he was later pronounced deceased. Responding officers located three individuals inside the gym, suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. One of the individuals was pronounced dead at the scene, and the other two were taken to a nearby officer. Police later learned a fourth victim was self-transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
