During a press briefing in the early hours of Monday, Undersheriff Andrew Walsh confirmed that two individuals had died as a result of the shooting and that one suspect is currently in custody.

ORIGINAL REPORT:
A shooting unfolded late Sunday night along the Las Vegas Strip, near the iconic Bellagio fountains, and was captured in real time on a livestream by a YouTuber.
The incident occurred just before 11:00 p.m. Pacific Time and has prompted an active investigation by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD). At least one person has reportedly been shot.
According to eyewitnesses and footage from a livestream, a YouTuber known as Finny Da Legend was broadcasting his walk along the Strip near the Bellagio fountains while accompanied by a woman.
During the stream, another individual—believed to be a fellow YouTuber who goes by SinCity-MannyWise or is affiliated with the Sin City Family channel—briefly appeared in the background before returning moments later and engaging in a heated confrontation with the woman.
Seconds later, the man could be seen pulling out a handgun and firing multiple shots off-screen.
The livestream recorded at least seven gunshots as bystanders screamed and fled for safety.
The woman accompanying the streamer appeared to grab the camera during the chaos and may have fallen to the ground. It is currently unclear if she was among the victims.
Witnesses on scene reported that at least one person had been struck by gunfire.
Some social media users later claimed a second person may have been injured, though authorities have not yet confirmed the number or identity of the victims.
The Bellagio Hotel & Casino was evacuated shortly after the incident as a precaution, though police have confirmed that the shooting did not take place inside any casino facility.
LVMPD released the following statement shortly after the shooting:
“We are responding to a shooting in the 3600 block of S. Las Vegas Boulevard. The shooting did not occur inside a casino. Please avoid the area.”
A significant law enforcement presence responded to the scene, with multiple patrol units and emergency responders seen surrounding the area.
As of this writing, no arrests have been publicly confirmed, and the identity of the suspected shooter has not been officially released.
The investigation remains ongoing, and anyone with information or relevant footage is encouraged to contact the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
The condition of the victims has not yet been disclosed. Further updates will be provided as more details become available.

Noemi Hernandez, Mother of Four Murdered By Her Husband Hector Luvianos Two Days Before Christmas
BATAVIA, Ill. — A devastating domestic homicide has left a family and community in mourning just days before Christmas.
Noemi Hernandez, a devoted mother of four, was fatally attacked in the early morning hours of Tuesday, Dec. 23, in what prosecutors allege was a violent act committed by her husband.
The incident occurred at an apartment building in the 100 block of Church Street in Batavia.
According to court records and police reports, at approximately 4:37 a.m., Batavia police were dispatched after a man contacted emergency dispatchers and stated that he had killed his wife.
Responding officers located the man outside the apartment building and took him into custody without incident.
When officers entered the apartment, they found Hernandez suffering from severe, life-threatening injuries.
First responders immediately attempted life-saving measures; however, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities identified the suspect as Hector B. Luvianos, 37, who was transported to the Batavia Police Department for questioning.
With assistance from the Kane County Major Crimes Task Force, investigators determined the incident was domestic-related and involved only the two individuals. Police emphasized that there is no ongoing threat to the public.
On Dec. 24, 2025, Kane County State’s Attorney Jamie L. Mosser and Batavia Police Chief Eric Blowers announced that Luvianos has been formally charged with first-degree murder, a Class M felony under Illinois law.
He appeared in court the same day for a pretrial detention hearing, after which a judge ordered him held in the Kane County Jail while the case proceeds.
The Kane County Coroner’s Office responded to the scene, and an autopsy is scheduled to determine the official cause and manner of Hernandez’s death.
In the wake of the tragedy, Hernandez’s family has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover funeral and related expenses.
In the fundraiser, the family described Noemi as “the heart of her family,” noting that she worked tirelessly, loved deeply, and always placed her children first. Her sudden death, they wrote, has left the family emotionally devastated and financially unprepared.
As an immigrant family with limited resources and no life insurance, they now face the burden of funeral and cremation costs, legal fees, and other unexpected expenses, all while supporting four children grieving the loss of their mother.
The family is asking for community support to allow them to lay Noemi to rest with dignity and focus on healing rather than financial hardship.
The investigation remains ongoing.
