The police in Cleveland were searching for a suspect after a man was fatally shot on Sunday in an act that was posted to Facebook and viewed thousands of times before the video was removed.

In a separate video — on a Facebook account under the name Stevie Steve — the gunman claimed he had killed 15 people.

Police officials confirmed that a body had been recovered after the shooting video was posted on Facebook around 2 p.m. Sunday, but Chief Calvin D. Williams of the Cleveland Police said at a news conference that investigators knew of no other killings.

The suspect was identified as Steve Stephens. In a video posted on the Facebook account of Stevie Steve before the shooting, a man was shown holding an ID card, with the name Steve Stephens, from a mental health clinic where he claimed to be a case manager. By late afternoon, the videos had been removed from Facebook and the account was deactivated.
