Police are searching for him:
The Cleveland Division of Police is searching for the suspect who shot and killed a man live on Facebook Sunday afternoon.
The murder happened on East 93rd in Cleveland. Police said the shooter broadcasted the deadly shooting live on his social media page and claimed to have committed other homicides. Police are still investigating those claims.
Cleveland police identified the suspect as Steve Stephens. He is 6 foot 1, bald with a full beard. He is wearing a dark blue striped shirt. According to police, he is driving a white or cream-colored SUV.
The suspect is considered armed and dangerous.
If seen, do not approach. Call 911 immediately.
I hope they are forced to shoot him down like a dog.
UPDATE:
I’ve seen the video. It is horrifying. I won’t post it. The man is very clear that he’s choosing someone at random.
Evil exists.
UPDATE:
At the beginning of the video he says as he gets out of his car, “I just found somebody I’m gonna kill.”
He walks up to a very old black man, and says, “hey can you do me a favor? Can you say Joy Lane?”
The man, confused, repeats the name.
And the scumbag says, “she’s the reason uh, this is about to happen to ya.”
He pulls out the gun and says, “how old are you?”
The man tries to cover his face defensively. And he shoots.
He’s just an old man. This is unbelievable brutality and cowardice.

What a deprived demon.
Steve Stephens flashed his work badge in his Facebook live. He was a mental health case worker.
