CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The man who killed a stranger Sunday and posted the video of the shooting on Facebook frequented a gun range in Willoughby, the owner of the business said.

Sherwin Shooting Sports owner Blake Frederick said that Steve Stephens had shot on the gun range within the last six months.

Stephens posted a video on Facebook of him at the gun range, but Frederick said he was unsure when the last time he used his range.

"I remembered him," Fredrick said. "He was a nice, kind of jovial, funny guy. I don't remember anything negative."

Frederick said they are combing through records to see when the last time he signed in to use the range. He said the search is complicated because so many people have bad handwriting.

He said he was able to confirm his business had not sold Stephens a gun in the last four years.

Fredrick also said he believes Stephens had been in the business in order to shop for merchandise other than guns.

Stevens has a valid concealed carry permit, Cleveland police spokeswoman Sgt. Jennifer Ciaccia said after a news conference Monday morning.

Police Chief Calvin Williams said guns were seized from a home in Twinsburg that is listed in court records as Stephens' address. Williams said he was unsure how many guns were seized and whether they were registered to Stephens.

Stephens shot 74-year-old Robert Godwin in the face at point-blank range as Godwin walked on East 93rd Street collecting cans, court records say.

Stephens uploaded the video of the shooting on Facebook and later said he killed more than a dozen more. Police have said they found no other victims and that they are still searching for him.

The search has expanded to across the country and there is a $50,000 reward for information that leads police to Stephens.
