Cops Hunt Ohio Man Suspected of Posting Killing to Facebook
Police in Cleveland are searching for a man they said posted a video of a killing on Facebook and who claims to have killed other people, authorities said Sunday.
Police have issued an aggravated murder warrant for Steve Stephens, identified by officials as the suspect. Stephens is considered armed and dangerous, according to a Cleveland Police Department statement.
The suspect has been described as a black male with medium complexion, 6-foot-1, 240 lbs and bald with a beard. He was last seen wearing a dark, striped polo shirt.
Stephens is believed to be driving a recently purchased white Ford Fusion with Ohio temporary tag E363630, which may have been switched out, Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams said at a news conference Sunday afternoon. Residents of New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Michigan have been asked to be on alert for the suspect.
Williams is urging Stephens to turn himself in and not to "do anymore harm to anybody."
A video was posted Sunday to a Facebook account apparently belonging to Stephens — the user's name is listed as Stevie Steve, and a city representative confirmed it belongs to him. In the video, the man filming walks up to an older man and, after asking him a question, shoots him. The video, which was posted about 2 p.m. ET and was later taken down, was captioned, in part, "Easter day slaughter."
The homicide that's been confirmed took place at 635 E. 93, police said.
The victim has been identified as 74-year-old Robert Godwin Sr., but police say they don't know the suspect's motive in choosing the victim.
Several GoFundMe pages have been created to support Godwin's family, but police asked on their behalf that people refrain from contributing to such crowdfunding accounts until an official means of support can be set up.
In other videos posted to the same Facebook page, the man filming discusses the killings.
"I'm at the point where I snapped," the man says in one video. He added that he's killed 13 people.
"And I'm about to keep killing until they catch me," he says.
He says in comments that he's killed 15 people in the area of 105 freeway. The account was last active about 3:30 p.m. ET.
Police have had not confirmed more than one homicide as of Monday morning.
The FBI has joined Cleveland police in search for Stephens, NBC News reported.
Facebook issued a statement stating: “This is a horrific crime and we do not allow this kind of content on Facebook. We work hard to keep a safe environment on Facebook, and are in touch with law enforcement in emergencies when there are direct threats to physical safety.”
A Facebook representative said that the killing was not broadcast live on Facebook, as previously reported. The video was later uploaded, "although, the suspect did go live at one point during the day," the representative said in a statement.
Chief Williams said anyone with information is asked to call 911.

Animals Recently Endangered, Threatened in US
As we celebrate Earth Week, we can't forget about the other lives that take up our planet. About 1,500 species are listed as endangered or threatened in or near the United States, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's Environmental Conservation Online System. That means they are in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of their range or likely to become that way in the foreseeable future. Just one species has been listed as endangered in 2017, following a 2016 when none were listed as endangered or threatened. But in 2015, 16 animal species were listed as endangered or threatened and in 2014, 34 were listed. Here's a look at some of the most recently endangered and threatened animals below.

Trial Begins for Ex-Cop Pedro Abad, Accused in Deadly DWI
A prosecutor at the opening of the New York trial for a former New Jersey police officer accused of a drunken wrong-way crash that killed a fellow officer and another man has said it was his extreme intoxication that led him to slam into a truck.
Assistant District Attorney Frank Prospero told jurors on Monday that former Linden officer Pedro Abad went the wrong way on a street at 73 miles per hour because of how much he had drunk.
"It was nothing but his intoxication that caused him to go the wrong way on the West Shore Expressway at a high rate of speed," Prospero said. "This was a horrific crash with devastating injuries and the loss of the lives of two young men."
Abad faces charges including aggravated vehicular homicide and manslaughter in connection with the March 2015 crash on a Staten Island highway. Authorities have said his blood alcohol content was at .24 percent; the legal limit is .08 percent. He has pleaded not guilty and previously turned down a plea deal.
Defense attorney Mario Gallucci said authorities did not properly obtain a blood sample and cannot prove intoxication. He also said those at the scene first did not note any evidence of intoxication.
"They have nobody who can say they could smell alcohol ... (or) say they saw him driving," he said.
