UPDATE: Two people have been killed after a shooting near the Bellagio Fountains in Las Vegas. YouTuber Sin City Manny has shot and killed rival streamer Finny da Legend as well as his wife Bubbly. Shooter Manny Dee in custody.
LAS VEGAS, NV — A fatal shooting unfolded late Sunday night near the iconic Bellagio Fountains on the Las Vegas Strip, leaving at least one person dead and prompting a major police response.
The incident, which was partially captured on a YouTube livestream, occurred in the 3600 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard shortly before 11:00 p.m. PT.
According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD), officers responded to reports of gunfire just outside the Bellagio and Paris Las Vegas hotels.
Authorities have confirmed that the shooting did not take place inside a casino but have urged the public to avoid the area.
Pedestrian and vehicle traffic around the scene was quickly restricted as officers established a perimeter.
Social media footage and witness accounts suggest the shooting may have stemmed from an altercation between two men, both believed to be YouTubers.
One of them, known online as Finny Da Legend, was livestreaming his walk along the Strip when the incident occurred.
He was accompanied by a woman at the time.
In the video, a man later identified by viewers as another YouTuber—SinCity-MannyWise, associated with the “Sin City Family” channel—can be seen walking past Finny and the woman in front of the Balloon Sign outside Paris Las Vegas.
Seconds later, he reappears, seemingly engaged in a verbal dispute with the woman.
Without warning, the man pulls out a handgun and fires at least seven shots, sparking chaos as bystanders fled for cover.
The woman, visibly shocked, screams “Are you f***ing kidding me?!” before the camera appears to drop to the ground.
It remains unclear whether she was struck by gunfire.
Witnesses at the scene reported at least one person had been shot.
Authorities later confirmed that one individual had died, though the victim’s identity has not been officially released.
Unverified reports on social media suggest a second person may have also been injured, though that has not been confirmed by law enforcement.
Video posted online shows a heavy police presence flooding the Las Vegas Strip immediately following the shooting.
The Bellagio Hotel & Casino was briefly evacuated as a precaution amid ongoing investigations.
As of Monday morning, no arrests have been confirmed and the LVMPD has not officially released the suspect’s identity.
However, investigators are reviewing the livestream footage and other available evidence.
The incident has drawn significant public attention, particularly due to its real-time broadcast and proximity to one of Las Vegas’s busiest tourist attractions.
Anyone with information related to the shooting is urged to contact the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department or submit anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers.
The investigation remains active and ongoing.
