Stephens was on the run for a total of three days. A coordinated effort between local, state and federal authorities was launched to find the Facebook killer.
An early report that claimed the killer’s cell phone “pinged” in Erie, Pennsylvania turned out to be accurate.
Stephens claimed to have killed a dozen people in the Facebook Live police. Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams, however, said that no other victims are known at this time.
“We’ve checked several locations that were either in the [Facebook Live] post itself or from information we got. So far there are no more victims tied to Steve and this incident,” said Williams.
The victim of the shooting was identified as Robert Goodwin, Sr., 74.
