CLEVELAND — Facebook has released a statement condemning the killing of a Cleveland man that police say was carried out live on the social media site.
The company on Sunday called it a “horrific crime,” and said that it works hard to “keep a safe environment on Facebook.”
Police say Steve Stephens shot 74-year-old Robert Goodwin Sr. Sunday afternoon while he was recording live on Facebook.
In the video, Stephens says he has also killed more than a dozen other people. Police have not verified that information.
Police continue to search for Stephens, who they say should be considered armed and dangerous. They say he may be driving a newer model white Ford Fusion. Anyone with information is asked to call 911.
