Police in five states are searching for a man dubbed the Facebook Killer. Steve Stevens shot and killed a 74-year-old man and posted a video of the shooting on Facebook. He also claimed to have killed 13 other people.
In a video posted on Facebook, he killed a 74-year-old man named Godwin after having Easter lunch, according to the New York Times.
US police announced that they are searching for Stevens in the state of Ohio, where the murder occurred, and the states of Indiana, Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania.
Police have offered a $50,000 reward for any information about the fugitive killer.
When confronted with Stevens' gun, the elderly victim tries to block him with the plastic he was holding.
The last signals recorded from the fugitive's phone indicate that he was in the state of Pennsylvania.
In the videos Stevens released, a woman named as his ex-girlfriend is mentioned. Stevens said he had a "sleeping monster" that is now awake.
