A very popular African American married couple, who were streamers who traveled the world together – enjoying fun experiences together – were brutally gunned down last night in Las Vegas.
And the incident was captured on their Livestream.
A tragic shooting near the iconic Bellagio Fountains has claimed the lives of two popular African American travel streamers, sending shockwaves through the global livestreaming community and beyond.
Finny Da Legend and his wife, Bubbly—well-known content creators who captivated audiences with their vibrant personalities and globe-trotting adventures—were gunned down late Sunday night on the Las Vegas Strip during what appeared to be a heated confrontation with a rival YouTuber. The suspected shooter, identified as Manny Dee, also known online as SinCity-MannyWise, is currently in police custody.
According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD), the shooting occurred just before 11:00 p.m. PT in the 3600 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard, near the famed Bellagio and Paris Las Vegas hotels. The shocking incident unfolded partially on a livestream being broadcast by Finny Da Legend, whose real name has not yet been released by authorities.
In the livestream footage—now circulating widely on social media—Finny and Bubbly are seen walking along the Strip when a man later identified as SinCity-Manny passes them. Moments later, he returns and appears to engage in a brief verbal exchange with Bubbly before suddenly drawing a handgun and firing multiple rounds. At least seven shots can be heard as pedestrians scatter in terror. The livestream captures Bubbly’s final anguished words: “Are you f***ing kidding me?!” before the stream abruptly cuts off.
Both Finny and Bubbly were fatally wounded in the attack, police confirmed Monday morning. The couple had gained a loyal following online for their positive energy, engaging content, and love-filled travel vlogs that documented their experiences across continents—from the beaches of Bali to the streets of Barcelona. Their sudden and violent deaths have left fans devastated and mourning what many saw as a love story that inspired and uplifted.
The incident did not occur inside a casino, but the chaos spilled into the surrounding area. Las Vegas police quickly cordoned off the scene, restricting vehicle and pedestrian traffic while launching an intensive investigation. The Bellagio Hotel & Casino was temporarily evacuated as a precaution.
Social media erupted with disbelief and heartbreak as news of the deaths spread. “They were such a beautiful couple. They showed us the world from their lens—Black love, joy, and culture,” one longtime viewer posted on X (formerly Twitter). “This wasn’t just beef between creators. This was murder.”
The shooter, Manny Dee, is believed to have ties to the “Sin City Family” YouTube channel, a Las Vegas-based lifestyle and nightlife platform. While the motive remains under investigation, fans and critics alike speculate that longstanding tensions and online rivalries between streamers may have played a role in the deadly encounter.
This tragedy marks yet another grim milestone in a growing number of violent incidents involving online personalities. Experts warn that blurred lines between real life and content creation can sometimes escalate digital feuds into real-world violence.
Authorities are reviewing extensive video evidence, including livestream footage and surveillance from nearby businesses. No additional suspects are being sought at this time, and the LVMPD has urged anyone with firsthand accounts or recordings of the incident to come forward.
As Las Vegas reels from the shooting, tributes continue to pour in for Finny and Bubbly. Candlelight vigils are already being planned in cities from Atlanta to Los Angeles, where the couple had previously lived and filmed. Their fans—affectionately known as the “LegendFam”—are calling for peace, justice, and accountability.
“What happened to Finny and Bubbly is not just a loss to the Black streaming community. It’s a loss to humanity,” one fan wrote. “They were joy-bringers, storytellers, and dreamers.”
The investigation remains active. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department or submit anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers.
