The incident, which unfolded in real-time during a livestream, captured the escalating tension before the broadcast was cut off by police.
Viewers reported hearing at least seven gunshots just steps from one of the most heavily trafficked tourist spots in Las Vegas. According to NBC News, officers arrived quickly but were unable to save the victims.
Authorities described the shooting as an “isolated incident” between the YouTubers and not a random act of violence. Investigators believe the suspect and victims had a prior dispute that originated online and spilled into real life.
No arrests have been made as of Monday (June 9), but police stated they have identified the suspect and are actively searching for him.
“At this point, every effort is being made by members of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to locate, apprehend and arrest the suspect who is responsible for this crime,” police said in a statement.
Police are urging anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers or the LVMPD Homicide Section.
