Police in the American city of Cleveland are currently conducting a massive man-hunt for a man who allegedly recorded and posted the murder of a man on Facebook Live.

37-year-old Steve Stephens is reported to have shot dead a 74-year-old man and broadcast the crime on the social media streaming service. The victim has been identified as Robert Godwin, while some local media in the area are reporting that Stephens has shot up to a dozen further people in the area, but local authorities claim there is no evidence of this as of yet.
