Shooting on Las Vegas Strip near Bellagio that killed 2 was livestreamed, police say
- Manuel Diaz Ruiz has been charged with two counts of murder involving a deadly weapon for a shooting that occurred outside the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas on June 8, 2025.
- The shooting stemmed from an ongoing social media feud between Ruiz and the victims, Rodney and Tanisha Finley, which started around October 2023.
- Ruiz told police he carried a concealed weapon due to prior threats and believed Rodney Finley reached for a gun, prompting him to shoot in self-defense.
- The Clark County Coroner’s Office reported that Rodney Finley sustained several gunshot wounds while Tanisha Finley was fatally shot twice in the head.
- After turning himself in to Henderson police on June 9, 2025, Ruiz was held without bail following a June 10 court appearance and is expected back Thursday for further proceedings.
