Facebook murderer Steve Stephens shot and killed himself in Pennsylvania Tuesday morning, ending a three-day manhunt for the Cleveland killer, police confirmed.

A tipster alerted police in Erie County after spotting Stephens’ white Ford Fusion in a McDonald’s parking lot, Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams said.

Officers attempted a traffic stop around 11 a.m. and Stephens drove away, starting a brief pursuit, Williams said.

...

After his death, Stephens’ mother, Maggie Green, told Cleveland media her son had a gambling problem and bottomed out after a recent breakup.

...

The murder clip raised concerns about the effect Facebook and its live videos might have on encouraging public carnage.

At least he saved the taxpayers a bunch of money from a long and drawn out trial that would make a bunch of lawyers richer.

In other words, he was a good boy who was turning his life around...

In what appears to be a recurring theme with this guy, he was three days late in killing himself and a dollar short.

How do they know it’s him? I saw his pic on CNN, how can you tell one black silhouette from another?

Anybody who shoots himself when the police approach probably has something to hide.

And, there's always fingerprints.

At least a minimum of 3 million dollars in lawyers and incarceration.

Was the murderer a recent convert to Islam?

He has the trimmed mustache and long beard as an ISIS fashion. And he may be out killing infidels.

I heard some FBI agent at the Cleveland Police Chief’s presser say that it was unfortunate that he wasn’t taken alive.

‘If you can’t say something good, don’t say anything.’

Honestly, who besides fellow islamists or their facilitators, wanted a trial for this scumbag?

His last meal was McNuggets. He didn’t hang around for the fries.
