LAS VEGAS, NV — A dramatic and disturbing incident unfolded late Sunday night on the Las Vegas Strip when a man, believed to be YouTuber SinCity-MannyWise, opened fire near the iconic Bellagio fountains, allegedly shooting fellow content creator Finny Da Legend. The entire event was captured on a livestream.
The shooting occurred shortly before 11:00 p.m. PT as Finny Da Legend was livestreaming a walk along the Strip, accompanied by a woman.
As the stream progressed, a man—reportedly SinCity-MannyWise, also known by his association with the “Sin City Family” YouTube channel—was seen walking past them in the background.
At that time, he appeared to be unaware of their presence.
Moments later, the man reappeared in the camera’s view, allegedly began arguing with the woman, and suddenly pulled out a firearm.
Multiple gunshots—at least seven—rang out, sending bystanders scrambling for safety.
The woman, still holding the livestream camera, appeared to fall to the ground amid the chaos. It remains unclear whether she sustained any injuries.
Witnesses at the scene reported that at least one person had been struck by gunfire, believed to be Finny Da Legend.
However, authorities have not yet confirmed the identities of the victims or the shooter.
Social media users later claimed that a second person may also have been shot.
In a brief public statement, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) confirmed they were responding to a shooting in the 3600 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard, not inside a casino.
Authorities urged the public to avoid the area. The Bellagio Hotel & Casino was temporarily evacuated as a precaution, contributing to a heavy police presence.
LVMPD has not released official information about arrests or the motive behind the shooting.
The investigation is ongoing, and police are working to verify social media claims and identify all parties involved.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Las Vegas Metropolitan Police or submit anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers.

Venezuelan national Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis shot in the leg by an immigration agent in Minneapolis
On January 14, 2025, federal law enforcement personnel were engaged in a targeted enforcement operation involving Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, a Venezuelan national who has been present in the United States since 2022.
The operation escalated into a high-speed pursuit, a physical confrontation, and an ambush by multiple subjects, necessitating the use of a defensive firearm discharge by a federal agent.
At approximately 6:50 PM, federal officers initiated a targeted traffic stop of a vehicle operated by Sosa-Celis.
The subject refused to comply with law enforcement commands and attempted to flee the scene.
During the pursuit, the subject’s vehicle collided with a stationary, parked car.
Following the collision, the subject abandoned the vehicle and fled the scene on foot.
A federal agent pursued the suspect on foot and successfully intercepted him. As the agent attempted to effect an arrest, the subject became combative, resulting in a violent struggle on the ground.
During this confrontation, two additional male subjects emerged from a nearby residence to intervene.
These individuals reportedly ambushed the agent, utilizing a snow shovel and a broom handle to strike the officer.
The situation escalated when the primary suspect, Sosa-Celis, regained his footing and joined the two additional subjects in the assault.
Reports indicate the suspect struck the agent with a blunt object (identified as either the shovel or broom handle).
Citing an immediate threat to his life while being outnumbered and actively assaulted by three individuals, the agent discharged his service weapon in self-defense.
The discharge struck Sosa-Celis in the lower extremity (leg). Following the shot, all three suspects retreated into a nearby apartment complex and initiated a barricade situation.
Following a brief standoff, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) successfully secured the perimeter and apprehended all three individuals without further injury.
Both the federal agent and Sosa-Celis were transported to a local medical facility for treatment.
Images from the scene showed Sosa-Celis conscious and alert during transport.
All three subjects involved in the assault are currently in the custody of ICE.
Further charges related to the assault on a federal officer and resisting arrest are pending review by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
