A ping from the cellphone of a behavioral health worker who randomly killed a Cleveland grandfather and posted video of the execution on Facebook has been detected in Pennsylvania, according to a report.<\/p>\n
The clue emerged as police in Ohio urged residents in Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana and Michigan to be on the lookout for Steve Stephens, 37, who may have fled Cleveland after allegedly gunning down Robert Godwin Sr., 74.<\/p>\n
Steve Stephens\u2019 cellphone ping was detected about 100 miles east of Cleveland in Erie, Pa., authorities told CNN. Police in the city told The Post they were not investigating the case.<\/p>\n
Stephens worked for Beech Brook, a behavioral health agency headquartered in Pepper Pike serving children through mental health services, foster care and adoption, at-risk youth programs and other services.<\/p>\n
An arrest warrant was issued for the suspect, who is wanted on a charge of aggravated murder after posting the shaky video of himself confronting the elderly man \u2014 a father of nine and grandfather of 14 \u2014 holding a plastic bag.<\/p>\n
\u201cFound me somebody I\u2019m going to kill,\u201d he says, chillingly, on Easter Sunday. \u201cI\u2019m going to kill this guy right here. He\u2019s an old old dude, too.\u201d<\/p>\n
He then asks his victim a \u201cfavor\u201d by saying his girlfriend\u2019s name, Joy Lane, whom Godwin said he didn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s the reason that this is about to happen to you,\u201d Stephens tells Godwin, who then shields his face with the bag before being shot in the head.<\/p>\n
The victim\u2019s son, Robert Godwin Jr., told Cleveland.com that he could not bring himself to watch the footage, which remained on Facebook for about three hours before being removed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t watched the video. I haven\u2019t even looked at my cellphone or the news,\u201d Godwin said. \u201cI don\u2019t really want to see it.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said his father, a retired foundry worker, collected aluminum cans and often walked with a plastic bag. The son said he believed his dad was looking for cans Sunday when Stephens approached him.<\/p>\n
In a separate video posted on Facebook, Stephens claims to have killed more than a dozen other people.<\/p>\n
\u201cI shamed myself. I snapped, I snapped. I just snapped, I just killed 13 motherf\u2014\u2014, man,\u201d Stephens says on the phone with an unidentified person, Cleveland.com<\/span> reported. \u201cI\u2019m about to keep killing until they catch me, f\u2014 it. I\u2019m telling them to catch me.\u201d<\/p>\n In the video, he also blames his acts on his girlfriend, saying that he woke up Friday and just decided that he had had enough.<\/p>\n \u201cNow I\u2019m just massacring people,\u201d he says with a laugh.<\/p>\n Police have not verified any other shootings or deaths, Police Chief Calvin Williams said.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are no more victims that we know are tied to him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Nancy Kortemeyer, a Beech Brook spokeswoman, said in a statement: \u201cWe were shocked and horrified to learn of this news today. We are hoping that the Cleveland Police will be able to apprehend Mr. Stephens as soon as possible and before anyone else is injured.\u201d<\/p>\n In one of the videos, Stephens can be seen holding up his Beech Brook employee ID badge.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m killing with my Beech Brook badge on too,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n Stephens also mentions his fraternity, Omega Psi Phi, in one of his Facebook posts. The fraternity issued a statement Sunday night.<\/p>\n \u201cOn behalf of the Supreme Council and the members of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated, we lift our sincere and heartfelt prayers and condolences of comfort to the families impacted by the recent shooting in Cleveland, Ohio,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n Williams told reporters late Sunday that \u201ceveryone is out there looking for Steve,\u201d who was driving a white Ford Fusion bearing the temporary tag of E363630, Cleveland.com<\/span> reported.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want this to end with as much peace as we can bring to this right now, and we want him to turn himself in,\u201d Williams said, adding that local authorities were working with the FBI and regional law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n A ping from the cellphone of a behavioral health worker who randomly killed a Cleveland grandfather and posted video of the execution on Facebook has been detected in Pennsylvania, according to a report.
