'''Steve William Stephens''' (December 10<sup>th</sup>, 1979 – April 18<sup>th</sup>, 2017) was a murderer who shot and killed 74-year-old Robert L. Godwin, Sr. on Facebook live. He uploaded the [[murder]] on Facebook dubbing him "'''The Facebook Killer'''". He worked as a vocational specialist at Beech Brook, a behavioral health agency for children and families. He was wearing his work ID badge and repeatedly mentioned Beech Brook in multiple videos on the day of the murder. Police confirmed there was no known connection between Godwin and Stephens prior to the shooting and that Godwin was selected at random. Stephens' mother was quoted as having told authorities that Stephens told her by phone he was "shooting people" because he was "mad with his girlfriend" of about three years, who was confirmed to be safe and was cooperating with investigators at the time.

Joy Lane was the reason Stephens went on his "Easter Day Slaughter", as he calls it. He told Robert Godwin, Sr. to say "Joy Lane." before shortly shooting Godwin, Sr. In an interview with Lane, she said that her relationship with Stephens was fine and two days before the shooting they said they loved each other. She said she doesn't know why he blamed her in his killing.

Lane." "Joy Lane?" Godwin, Sr. asked. "She's the reason all this is about to happen to you.". Stephens then said "How old are you?" Before Godwin, Sr. could answer Stephens took out a gun. "Hey, hey man, please, please, I don't know...I don't know anybody by that name-" Stephens then shot Godwin, Sr. in his left cheek. Stephens then spun around to show Godwin, Sr.'s bloody body. "That mother***er dead because of you Joy." Stephens then got back in his car, drove away and ended the stream.
