Vegas streamer was shot dead by a rival YouTuber after a feud over copyright strikes
In a harrowing turn of events straight out of a digital-age nightmare, a YouTuber rivalry appears to have erupted into fatal violence on the Las Vegas Strip. Two people were gunned down in front of the iconic Bellagio fountains — and it all may have unfolded live on a now-removed livestream. At around 10:30 p.m. on Sunday, Las Vegas police officers heard gunshots during a routine patrol on South Las Vegas Boulevard. They found a man and woman — later identified as 44-year-old Rodney Finley and 43-year-old Tanisha Finley — suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Both were declared dead at the scene. By Monday morning, the suspected shooter, 41-year-old Manuel Ruiz, had turned himself in to authorities at a Henderson police station. On June 8, 2025, near the Bellagio in Las Vegas, YouTuber Finny Da Legend and a woman were fatally shot during a livestream by another YouTuber, allegedly SinCity-MannyWise, over a social media dispute. Police detained the suspect, and the area was locked down. Rivalry over content spirals into chaos Rodney Finley, known to his followers as 'Finny Da Legend', had built a YouTube presence livestreaming life in Las Vegas. But his content also frequently called out Ruiz, who ran a channel under the name SinCity-Manny. Their online tension became public last year when Finley accused Ruiz of hitting his channel with a copyright strike — a move that could have led to channel termination under YouTube's policy. In a now-deleted video titled 'Look at what Sin City Family (Pmanny & Julie) Did to Me,' Finley shared screenshots of the YouTube violation. The incident may have intensified a feud that already seemed personal and bitter. According to a police report, Ruiz described their relationship as a 'rivalry' and claimed he acted in self-defence, insisting he had no idea the Finleys were livestreaming at the time. The livestream, which captured the terrifying moment gunfire broke out and bystanders scattered in panic, has since been removed. Awaiting justice Ruiz is currently being held without bail as he awaits a court appearance scheduled for Thursday.

YouTuber SinCity-MannyWise claims that he shot streamer Finny Da Legend in ‘self-defense' in Las Vegas
Sin-City MannyWise shot Finny Da Legend and his wife Bubbly in Las Vegas (Image via Youtube) What started as digital beef between two livestreaming personalities has now become the center of a real-life courtroom drama. Manuel Ruiz, better known online as SinCity-MannyWise, is facing two murder charges after allegedly shooting fellow YouTuber Rodney Finley a.k.a. Finny Da Legend and his wife Tanisha Finley (Bubbly) near the Bellagio fountains. But in a surprising twist, Ruiz is now claiming it was all self-defense. A Stream That Turned Into Tragedy The tragedy took place on Sunday, June 8, 2025. YouTuber Finny Da Legend and his wife Bubbly were shot while livestreaming outside the Bellagio. The accused in the case is SinCity-MannyWise, a well-known Vegas-based streamer. Authorities say the confrontation was the culmination of a long-simmering online feud that began in 2023. What began as trolling, copyright strikes, and petty digital wars eventually spilled into the real world, with deadly consequences. SinCity-MannyWise's Court Claim: 'I Thought He Had a Gun' SinCity-MannyWise appeared in court Tuesday morning and told the judge he opened fire because he feared for his life. According to his statement, Finny Da Legend made a threatening motion, reached toward his waistband, and said, 'What up, cuz?'—a phrase SinCity-MannyWise claims he interpreted as a threat. Believing Finny was about to pull a weapon, he says he fired in self-defense. He also admitted to shooting Bubbly, saying he thought she had a 'shiny black object,' which he feared was a gun. That object was later identified by witnesses as a phone gimbal. The judge denied bail, and SinCity-MannyWise now faces two counts of murder. He remains in custody at the Clark County Detention Center. This The Real Reason Sin City Manny K*lled Finny Da Legend And His Wife (RECEIPTS & FOOTAGE) A Toxic History Between the Two Creators The feud between Finny Da Legend and SinCity-MannyWise wasn't new. According to fellow streamers, things escalated in 2023 when SinCity-MannyWise allegedly pepper-sprayed Bubbly during an in-person encounter. Rather than retaliate physically, Finny Da Legend responded online, trolling SinCity-MannyWise on livestreams and mocking his content. Their online war spiraled from there, with Finny Da Legend frequently watching and reacting to SinCity-MannyWise's videos on stream. SinCity-MannyWise reportedly retaliated using YouTube's copyright system, striking Finny's videos and demonetizing his content. In one of Finny Da Legend's streams, a voiceover of Donald Trump mockingly said, ' I want to say f*** Sin City Family and f*** Manny ,' referring to SinCity-MannyWise and his followers. Community Reeling from the Aftermath While internet users continue to argue about who was right and who was wrong, what's clear is that this was more than just online drama. Two people are now gone—Finny Da Legend, known for his energetic Vegas streams, and Bubbly, who brought warmth and light to every broadcast. SinCity-MannyWise's self-defense claim is now the center of a murder case that has gripped both the streaming world and the wider public. Whether it holds up in court is yet to be seen, but one thing is certain: this is a tragic reminder of what happens when digital rivalries spill into real life.
