Facebook Murder Suspect Steve Stephens Found Dead In His Car

Steve Stephens, the man who streamed himself killing a 74-year-old man and talked about killing 15 others on Facebook, has been found dead.

According to the New York Post, Stephens was found in a Ford Fusion with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, in Pennsylvania.

The Mirror reports that Stephens shot himself after 'brief pursuit' by police.

The 37-year-old went on the run after his Facebook broadcast, in which he killed Robert Godwin Sr on Easter Sunday.

A huge bounty was put on his head, with Cleveland police chief Calvin Williams announcing the reward for any information leading to Stephens' arrest. The manhunt reportedly covered up to five states.
