Billboards Placed in CT for Cleveland Facebook Killing Suspect

Wanted billboards have now been posted along Connecticut highways as the manhunt for a man suspected of killing a person on Facebook went national. Steve Stephens posted a video on the social media website of him gunning down a 74-year-old man he said he chose at random Sunday, according to police.

Stephens claimed to commit other homicides, but the claim hasn't been verified, police said.

"The state police, as with every other law enforcement agency, is keeping an eye out for Stephens," said Trooper First Class Kelly Grant, State Police spokesman. "Troopers remind residents that if they see Stephens or his vehicle to call 911."

Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams said that "no stone will be left unturned." He also vowed that law enforcement would follow up on every tip that is submitted. The FBI, ATF, and US Marshals are now offering $50,000 for tips and information that help lead to Stephens arrest, Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson said Monday afternoon.
