The two people killed in a shocking live-streamed shooting on the Las Vegas Strip Sunday night have been identified -- they were an internet-famous married couple from California -- and police say the alleged gunman is claiming self-defense.
The Clark County Coroner's Office says 43-year-old Tanisha "Bubbly" Finley was shot twice in the head, and 44-year-old Rodney "Finny da Legend" Finley was struck by multiple bullets. Their deaths have been officially ruled homicides.
Las Vegas Metro Police say the accused shooter is 41-year-old Manuel Ruiz -- who turned himself in Monday after a live-stream video showed multiple shots fired as an alleged argument escalated near the Bellagio in front of stunned tourists.

Manuel, known online as SinCity-MannyWise, had a long-running online beef with Rodney ... fueled by Finny's nonstop mocking after YouTube shut down Manny's copyright strikes.
Manuel even filmed himself hunting for Finny just a day before allegedly gunning him and his wife down on the sidewalk.
Manuel has been booked at the Clark County Detention Center on two counts of open murder with a deadly weapon.
