What Happened Sunday Night
Around 10:40 p.m., police officers patrolling Las Vegas Boulevard heard gunfire near the Bellagio Hotel and Casino. They ran toward the sound and found two victims on the sidewalk with gunshot wounds. Despite efforts to save them, both victims died at the scene.
The Bellagio Hotel and Casino was evacuated as a precaution shortly after the incident, even though police confirmed the shooting happened outside, not inside the casino.
The whole thing was caught on a live YouTube stream.
A YouTuber known as “Finny Da Legend” was livestreaming his walk along the Strip with a woman when another content creator, “Sin City Manny” (also called SinCity-MannyWise), approached them and got into an argument with the woman. Suddenly, the man pulled out a gun and fired at least seven shots. The woman screamed in disbelief as people ran for cover.
The day before the shooting, Sin City Manny posted a video of himself driving around Las Vegas looking for someone he called his “biggest fan,” saying:
“I went through every f****** casino there is. I heard there is one of my biggest fans here in f****** town. I’m dying to see him.”
Police say they have identified the suspect but he remains at large. The shooting did not happen inside the casino, but right outside on the busy Strip where thousands of tourists walk every day.
The Online Drama That Turned Deadly
These weren’t just random internet personalities. Both men had a history with each other online. Finny Da Legend made videos streaming live from the Las Vegas Strip and had complained in previous videos about Sin City Manny getting his videos taken down from YouTube.
Sin City Manny runs something called the “Sin City Family” channel.
The fact that Sin City Manny was actively hunting for Finny the day before shows this wasn’t a random encounter. It was planned revenge over internet drama. That’s not just a crime – it’s a complete breakdown of basic human decency.
What People Are Saying About the Motive
Social media users who followed both YouTubers are sharing their thoughts about what sparked this deadly feud. Based on social media posts, their feud may have started over insults about each other’s wives.
According to people familiar with their online drama, the real battle was over YouTube copyright strikes. Both creators were reportedly sending false copyright claims against each other’s videos, trying to get the other person’s channel banned from YouTube.
One Twitter user explained:
“I read somewhere that F exposed M for being a scammer. They were sending strikes to each other, claiming copyright violations. They were both on their 2/3 strikes with the goal of getting the other person’s channel banned. Those actions and the crap talking lead up to the event.”
Another social media user reported:
“The shooter had strikes against his YouTube channel, the victims said that the shooter should kill himself because his channel was about to be taken away. The shooter played the Uno reverse card on the victims.”
This shows how their online feud had real financial stakes. When someone’s YouTube channel gets three copyright strikes, YouTube can delete the entire channel. That means losing all your subscribers, your income, and years of work.
Why This Matters to Conservatives
This incident highlights several key issues that should concern anyone who believes in law and order, personal responsibility, and safe communities.
First, it shows how social media disputes are increasingly spilling into real violence. When people can hide behind screens and build up anger online, some lose sight of basic human decency. This isn’t just about gun violence – it’s about a culture that has forgotten how to resolve conflicts peacefully.
Second, this happened in one of America’s biggest tourist destinations. Las Vegas brings in millions of visitors who spend billions of dollars. When violence erupts on the Strip, it hurts working families whose jobs depend on tourism. Hotel workers, restaurant staff, casino employees – they all suffer when people are afraid to visit.

Third, this shooting puts more strain on our already stretched police forces. Officers were already on patrol nearby and responded quickly, but they shouldn’t have to deal with people who can’t control their tempers over internet drama.
What Police Are Doing
Undersheriff Andrew Walsh called this an “isolated and targeted incident” that followed an argument on social media. Police are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.
The good news is that officers were already in the area and responded immediately. This shows the value of having strong law enforcement presence in high-traffic areas.

What Conservatives Can Do
Support your local police. They’re the ones who run toward danger when everyone else runs away. When politicians try to defund or weaken law enforcement, remember incidents like this.
Teach young people about personal responsibility. Social media isn’t a game. What you post and how you act online matters. Disputes should be settled with words, not weapons.
Most importantly, don’t let incidents like this be used to attack the rights of law-abiding citizens. The problem isn’t guns in the hands of good people – it’s bad people who refuse to follow the law.
