Police are hunting a killer who live-streamed the moment he shot dead an innocent man in Cleveland and claims to have slaughtered 14 more.
Steve Stephens, 37, is on the loose after he recorded the shocking act on social media at around 3pm Eastern Time on Easter Sunday.
The horrifying video, which police say is real, shows him driving up to an elderly man in the street and opening fire.
The victim has been identified by Cleveland Police as Robert Goodwin, 74.
He claims to have killed 15 people on Sunday, but only one death has been confirmed.
Stephens, who works as a mental health care manager, also wrote that he ‘messed up’ in postings on social media, and blamed the shooting on a woman, believed to be his ex-partner.
Cleveland Police have confirmed that the video posted to Facebook Live showing an elderly man being shot is legitimate.
He is 6ft and is said to weight 240lbs. He is bald with a full beard. He is wearing a dark blue, and gray or black striped polo shirt.
Police say he is driving around in a White Ford Fusion with temporary tags and is considered armed and dangerous.
Stephens’s Facebook and all posts have since been taken down. The video of the shooting was on his page for three hours.
