The shooting occurred around 10:40 p.m. on Las Vegas Boulevard, adjacent to the Bellagio Resort & Casino. Disturbing footage circulating online, and verified by Storyful, shows a man addressing the camera while pedestrians mill about in the background. Suddenly, another man, wearing a cap and sunglasses, opens fire as a woman attempts to intervene. Approximately seven gunshots can be heard on the video, as horrified onlookers scramble for cover or collapse to the ground.

Officers on patrol in the vicinity heard the gunshots and swiftly responded, discovering the two victims suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Medical personnel arrived shortly thereafter, but both individuals succumbed to their injuries at the scene.

While the police have not yet officially released the names of the victims, social media posts suggest the deceased are YouTubers identified by netizens as ‘Finny Da Legend’ and his purported partner. The suspect is widely believed to be YouTuber ‘SinCity-MannyWise’.

The Clark County Coroner’s office has not yet released details regarding the victims.
