Just before fatally shooting Godwin in a video uploaded to Facebook, Stephens asked him, “Can you do me a favor? Now, experts worry now about copycat offenders and, worse, people seeking to “one-up” the gruesomeness of the last viral video. “This is a horrific crime and we do not allow this kind of content on Facebook,” a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement.
