The rumor mill is turning on social media as police continue to deal with the aftermath of a shooting on the Las Vegas Strip.
The shooting took place in front of the Bellagio Fountains on the Las Vegas Strip on Sunday evening. A clip shared widely on social media appears to show the beginning of the incident in which a man is livestreaming with a woman before being interrupted by the shooter. The woman tries to intervene before the gunman opens fire, supposedly on the man who was livestreaming.

It now appears the gunman may have been Sin City Manny, a YouTuber based in Las Vegas, Nevada. X users have now shared a video posted by the YouTuber on Saturday in which he drives around Las Vegas on the hunt for a person who he claims is his “biggest fan.”
“I went through every f*cking casino there is,” Sin City Manny says. “I heard there is one of my biggest fans here in f*cking town. I’m dying to see him.”
It appears the other YouTuber involved is Finny Da Legend. The content creator has several videos streaming live from the Las Vegas Strip. He also references Sin City Manny in multiple videos, including one from a year ago in which he complains about Manny getting his videos taken down from the platform.
Speculation is rife in the comments, but several people have claimed the beef between the two YouTubers was over an insult made by Finny about the shooter’s wife. It is unclear if Sin City Manny is the shooter in the video from the Bellagio. The shooter is wearing a white cap and sunglasses.
This is still a developing story and all details are alleged based on information shared online. The police have warned people to stay away from the area and have not announced how many fatalities or injuries have occurred.
