A tragedy took place in Las Vegas this past weekend. An ongoing feud between YouTube creators Finny Da Legend and SinCity-MannyWise resulted in the former being shot and killed.
Their tension was broadcast for the world to see via a live stream on Sunday (June 8) near the Bellagio Fountains. Witnesses, both in-person and online, claimed that MannyWise was the gunman who took out both Finny and his wife. They claimed to have heard seven gunshots go off, and NBCNews added that police quickly rushed to the scene, but were unable to save the slain victims.
Local authorities deemed this situation an “isolated incident” between the two content creators, rather than a random act of violence. Investigators corroborated the story that the witnesses told, pointing to a prior issue between Finny and MannyWise. At the time of publishing, no arrests have been made, thus meaning the alleged suspect, SinCity-MannyWise, is still at large. “At this point, every effort is being made by members of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to locate, apprehend and arrest the suspect who is responsible for this crime,” the police said in a statement.
An X account shared a long explanation of what took place on Finny Da Legend’s live stream and the context for their feud. They claim that Finny had made harsh comments about SinCity-MannyWise and his wife less than a week before they ran into each other in Las Vegas. Allegedly, they had also had issues over copyrights. On the live stream, MannyWise seemingly did not recognize Finny at first, but upon doing so, they had a verbal confrontation, which prompted MannyWise to allegedly open fire.
The X account also claimed that, per unconfirmed reports, a nearby 17-year-old was also struck by the gunfire, but no local authorities have confirmed this. Another X account claimed that MannyWise was open about the fact that he was searching for Finny in Las Vegas, claiming he said that he “went through every f**king casino there is.”
VIBE sends its sincerest condolences to Finny Da Legend and his wife’s family, friends, and loved ones.
