City of Vice's Manny Admits Self-Defense in Deadly Shooting of YouTube adversary Finny Da Legendard
In a shocking turn of events, the individual responsible for the fatal shootings during a livestream at the Bellagio Fountains on the Las Vegas Strip, has turned himself in. Identified as Manuel "Manny" Ruiz, he claims he was defending himself when he opened fire on Sunday night.
Ruiz, a YouTuber famously known as 'Sin City Manny,' has a history of conflicts with victim Rodney Finleyβat least, that's what the media assumes. It all started in 2023 when Ruiz allegedly pepper-sprayed Tanisha Finley. Over the weekend, Ruiz posted two videos cruising around the city, challenging the couple to come out. He even mimed a gunshot with his fingers.
Ruiz claims he was spooked when he encountered the Finleys, claiming he saw Finley reach into his waistband and say, "What up, cuz?" Turns out, he shot Rodney Finley in the head. Ruiz thought he saw a gun in Tanisha Finley's hand, which is why he continued shooting. However, law enforcement found no firearms at the scene.
Fleeing initially, Ruiz discarded his shirt, hat, and gun before hopping into a ride-share vehicle. He was left stranded on the other side of the Strip outside the New York-New York when he realized he didn't have enough funds to pay for the trip. A friend eventually convinced him to surrender to the police.
The judge refused to grant Ruiz bail, with the next court hearing scheduled for Thursday.
Despite media reports suggesting a long-standing feud, there are no credible sources detailing a specific history of conflict between Manuel Ruiz and Rodney Finley before the incident at the Bellagio Fountains. Most coverage identifies the victims as an Arizona couple, with no mention of Rodney Finley in relation to this case.
