The police said the shooting took place while Finny Da Legend was live streaming, and the violent moment was captured on video before the footage was removed. Ruiz, who reportedly used the alias 'SinCity-MannyWise' on YouTube and ran the channel Sin City Family, turned himself in on Monday. He is now facing two counts of murder.
'The suspect and the victim had previously engaged in some type of conflict using a variety of social media platforms,' police noted.
In the wake of the arrest, YouTube took action against Ruiz's channel. 'Because it violated our Community Guidelines,' the platform stated, 'the channel has been removed.'
While law enforcement has yet to officially release the identities of the two victims, online posts and community tributes across platforms like X, Reddit, and YouTube have widely identified them as Finny Da Legend and his wife.

Case against folk singer for ‘song against U'khand govt', sparks row
Dehradun: Garhwali folk singer Pawan Semwal is facing charges of "promoting enmity and insulting the modesty of women" over a song purportedly targeting the Uttarakhand govt led by CM Pushkar Singh Dhami on issues of rising unemployment and crimes against women. Dehradun resident Manju Lal filed a complaint on Saturday, alleging that a line in the song -- which links rise in the number of liquor shops to prostitution -- was offensive to all women in Uttarakhand. A case was registered later that night at Patel Nagar police station, and Semwal, who was in Delhi, was summoned for questioning on Sunday. Inspector Chandrabhan Singh Adhikari, SHO of Patel Nagar, said the case was registered under BNS sections 196 (promoting enmity between groups), 353(1)(b) (statements conducive to public mischief), and 79 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of women). "After questioning, he was served notice under BNSS section 35, under which he must present himself before the police when summoned during the investigation. He was also warned not to repeat such acts," Adhikari said. The song, titled 'Tin Bhi Ni Thami' in Garhwali, loosely translated as 'Can't handle it for a bit', had garnered over 15,000 views and 1,200 likes on YouTube by Sunday morning. It had first been uploaded three days ago, and then taken down. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search Ads Get Info Undo It was re-uploaded on Saturday and deleted again after the police action. Despite repeated attempts by TOI, both Semwal and complainant Lal could not be reached. However, in a video posted on social media while en route to Dehradun, Semwal said there had been "immense pressure on him from the police to delete the song" when it was first uploaded three days ago. The case has also triggered a political row in Uttarakhand. State Congress president Karan Mahara accused the BJP govt of silencing dissent through such actions. "The lyrics of Semwal's song are much more than what is being projected. The song highlights things which the govt does not want to hear. It is the voice of every resident who wants to see change," he said. Responding to the remarks, BJP state spokesperson Manveer Singh Chauhan said, "Due to the holistic development under CM Dhami-led govt, Congress has got no issues to raise. These songs are part of its agenda of mudslinging. The govt has no role in registering the case… the law will take its own course."

Viral video: Man eats KFC inside vegetarian restaurant run by ISKCON in London, sparks outrage
A video that surfaced across social media has triggered strong reactions after a man was seen eating chicken inside Govinda's, a vegetarian restaurant run by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in London. The video, shows a man of African descent entering the premises and asking staff if meat was served. When informed that the eatery only offers vegetarian food, he pulled out a box of KFC chicken and began eating it inside the restaurant. Footage shows the man standing at the counter while eating, and at one point offering the non-vegetarian food to other customers and staff members, which appeared to make several people uncomfortable. Despite being asked to leave by restaurant staff and patrons, the man continued eating before being removed from the premises by security. The act drew widespread condemnation on social media. Many users questioned the motivation behind it, with some describing it as an intentional insult to Hindu dietary and religious values. One X user wrote, 'What should we call this? Racism or provocation?' Horrendous. 😳😡 This African-British youth entered into ISKCON's Govinda restaurant – knowingly that it's pure Veg restaurant – asked if there's meat available, then pulled out his KFC box and not only ate chicken (chewed like a 🐷), but also offered others working/eating in… — Tathvam-asi (@ssaratht) July 19, 2025 Another said, 'He achieved nothing by harassing people! Zero achievement but created a nuisance in society.' A third commented, 'Hope the complaint was filed with police. Don't know if he can be arrested for this or not, but this is hate towards Hindus. He knew they wouldn't react, that's why he did this.' Others questioned the response from those present, with one post reading, 'They're just smiling and filming. If you won't act, don't expect others to.' Another added, 'Intentionally breaking a religious rule like this shows intolerance — and society shouldn't ignore it.' A different user suggested the act was done for attention, writing, 'He did it just for two extra followers on YouTube.' STRONGLY CONDEMN: Man walks into ISKCON's Govinda, a pure veg restaurant, checks if it's vegetarian, then shamelessly stuffs his mouth with KFC chicken right on their counter! Staff, customers ask him to leave but he keeps on chewing – just for 2 extra followers on YouTube.… — Asawari Jindal (@AsawariJindal15) July 19, 2025 Indian rapper and singer Badshah took to X to slam the targeted disrespect to Hindus in London, posting, 'Even the chicken would be embarrassed. Dude wasn't hungry for chicken, he was hungry for some chappal on that face.' Even the chicken would be embarrassed. Dude wasnt hungry for chicken, he was hungry for some 🩴 on that face. True strength is in respecting what you dont understand. — BADSHAH (@Its_Badshah) July 20, 2025 ISKCON, a global spiritual organisation founded in 1966 by AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, promotes Krishna consciousness and a vegetarian lifestyle based on the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita and Vedic scriptures.

Dehradun police books YouTuber for derogatory song targeting Uttarakhand women
DEHRADUN: Dehradun police has initiated legal action against a YouTuber accused of making derogatory remarks against the women of Uttarakhand, thereby hurting their honour. According to the police sources, YouTuber Pawan Semwal was summoned from Delhi to Dehradun for questioning in connection with a case registered following complaints from women. Semwal is alleged to have sung and broadcasted the controversial song on his YouTube channel, with the aim of spreading disrespect towards the women of Devbhoomi (Land of Gods). A spokesperson of Dehradun Police told, Pawan Semwal, using his Facebook ID, had broadcasted a song on a YouTube channel that contained objectionable comments, attempting to disrespect the modesty of Uttarakhandi women and daughters. "Following an initial outcry, the accused had previously removed the video from his YouTube channel. However, on Saturday, he allegedly re-propagated the same song on the same YouTube channel via his Facebook ID, making another attempt to publicly spread contempt against the women of Uttarakhand," spokesperson claimed. Distraught by the offensive song, a woman lodged a complaint at Kotwali Patel Nagar. Based on this complaint, a case was registered against Pawan Semwal under Sections 196, 353(1)(b), and 79 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Subsequently, a police team summoned the accused Pawan Semwal from Kalyanpuri Police Station in Delhi, as per due procedure. "After detailed questioning here, he was served a notice under Section 35(a) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and safely released from the police station," a police official stated. "The accused has also been instructed to fully cooperate in future investigations." This action, according to the police, sends a clear message that "any kind of abusive comments or acts that hurt the honour on social media will not be tolerated."
