"Easter Day Slaughter" Suspect Executed Random Man On Facebook Live, Still At Large

The hunt continues today for Steve Stephens, the Cleveland man that broadcasted his execution of a senior citizen on Facebook Live.

Stephens called his post the “Easter day slaughter.” The video remained up for several hours before Facebook was alerted and pulled the clip.

The footage shows Stephens holding a gun to 74-year old Robert Goodwin’s head. He eventually pulls the trigger, and you can see the victim’s head recoil violently. After that, Stephens goes on to claim he’s killed up to 15 other people, but police are insisting they’re only aware of the one shooting.

As far as motive, all anyone knows is that the suspect was mad at his girlfriend; there doesn’t appear to be any connection between Stephens and Goodwin at all. The victim was randomly murdered while walking home from his grown children’s house after an Easter meal.

Stephens' mother last saw him Saturday, the day before the horrific video, and he reportedly told her that, “…this [was] the last time I was going to see him.” She briefly spoke to him again after the video was posted, but her phone died before he said anything of note.

Police are searching frantically for the suspect – even the mayor of Cleveland spoke out and said, “We know who he is, and he will eventually be caught." Stephens is currently believed to be somewhere inside a 5-state radius; his cell phone was last detected in Pennsylvania, over 100 miles away from the crime scene.

Perhaps scariest of all, authorities are motivated to bring in Stephens as soon as possible because, at one point in his video, the suspect says, “I’m about to keep killing until they catch me.”
