Fatal Confrontation: YouTubers’ Social Media Feud Erupts in Deadly Las Vegas Strip Shooting
LAS VEGAS, NV – June 8, 2025 – The bustling atmosphere of the Las Vegas Strip was shattered late Sunday night, June 8, 2025, as a simmering online feud between two prominent YouTubers tragically culminated in a deadly shooting near the iconic Bellagio fountains. The incident, which left two individuals dead, has sent shockwaves through both the local community and the global online content creation sphere.
Authorities have identified the suspect as Manuel Ruiz, known online as “Manny Sin City Family” or “SinCity-MannyWise.” **Ruiz has now surrendered to police, turning himself in at a Henderson police station hours ago.** He is believed to have opened fire on another YouTube personality, “Finny D Legend,” and his wife. The horrific event was reportedly captured on a livestream, which has since been removed from Finny D Legend’s channel, though clips are circulating across social media platforms. Ruiz faces two charges of murder with a deadly weapon.

Escalation of an Online Rivalry
According to preliminary investigations by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD), the suspect and victims had a history of conflict that played out across various social media platforms. Undersheriff Andrew Walsh confirmed in a press briefing that the shooting is believed to be an “isolated incident” between individuals who knew each other. While police have not officially released the identities of the victims, numerous social media reports and news outlets are naming “Finny D Legend” and his wife, Bubbly, as the deceased.
The online community is reeling from the tragedy, with many observers noting the long-standing and often heated interactions between “Manny Sin City Family” and “Finny D Legend.” Sources close to the online communities suggest the “beef” was primarily driven by “Manny” who was allegedly exposed by “Finny” for engaging in questionable activities online.
Scene of the Crime: Bellagio Fountains
The shooting occurred around 10:40 PM PDT on Sunday, June 8, in the 3600 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard, a highly trafficked area typically teeming with tourists and locals. Patrol officers, who were in the vicinity, reportedly heard gunshots and immediately rushed to the scene. They discovered two individuals suffering from gunshot wounds and administered aid, but both victims were pronounced dead at the scene. The area around the Bellagio fountains was quickly cordoned off as investigators began processing the scene.
Calls for Accountability and Reflection
The incident has sparked widespread discussion about the responsibilities of content creators, the impact of online feuds, and the potential for virtual conflicts to spill into real-world violence. Social media platforms are facing renewed scrutiny regarding their policies on harassment, threats, and the rapid spread of sensitive content following such tragedies. YouTube has confirmed the removal of Manny Ruiz’s “Sin City Family” channel, citing violations of their Community Guidelines.
As the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department continues its ongoing investigation, the community mourns the loss of life and grapples with the devastating consequences of an online dispute that escalated beyond measure. This tragic event serves as a stark reminder of the very real implications of online interactions and the urgent need for a more responsible and respectful digital environment.
