Rodney Finley, 44, known online as Finny Da Legend, and his 43-year-old wife Tanisha Finley were fatally shot on the evening of Sunday, June 8, 2025, on a busy sidewalk near the Bellagio fountains on the Las Vegas Strip. The couple, visiting from Arizona, were livestreaming on Rodney Finley’s YouTube channel when the attack occurred; the shooting was recorded on that livestream and witnessed by tourists and bystanders.

The shooter has been identified as 41-year-old fellow YouTuber Manuel Manny Ruiz. Reports say the two had a long-running feud marked by online disputes, alleged copyright fights, insults, and a prior incident in which Ruiz was cited for battery. Witnesses and the livestream show Ruiz approaching the Finleys, drawing a handgun and opening fire; both victims were pronounced dead at the scene. Ruiz fled but surrendered the next morning; authorities say he discarded clothing and a 9mm handgun at the scene and that no weapons were found on or near the victims. Ruiz has claimed self-defense, alleging he thought Rodney was reaching for a weapon and that Tanisha held a shiny black object; prosecutors have challenged that account and have charged Ruiz with murder.
