A staff member at the restaurant in Erie County, Pennsylvania - approximately 100 miles east of Mr Stephens' home in Cleveland, Ohio - recognised him as he pulled up to the drive-thru window and called the local police.
Osofsky said "as a result of this awful series of events", Facebook was reviewing its reporting practices to ensure the quickest possible response to remove content like the videos allegedly made by Stephens. He then shot him.
There was no fingerpointing - just hugs. No accusations - just mutual grief.
Erie Times-News via AP Pennsylvania State Police look over a vehicle as they investigate the scene where Steve Stephens, the suspect in the random killing of a Cleveland retiree posted on Facebook, was found shot dead Tuesday in Erie. Pa. "It was loud and distinctive", Ms Wheeler said. "I've got a lot of negative comments.I've been told that I'm the one who should have died". "He should have killed me".
Lane said she's devastated that the victim said her name before he was shot.
"The next thing I know, they're approaching the auto. And that's been hard", she said. The two last spoke Saturday night when Stephens told Lane he quit his job and was going to leave the state.
Police would not speculate on what triggered the killing, but in the video and other footage he posted, Stephens talked about having trouble with his girlfriend and losing everything he had to gambling.
"I feel bad", Lane told the sisters, according to WJW. Several of the Godwin children have also stated that they held no ill will towards Lane. "We work hard to keep a safe environment on Facebook", the statement said, "and are in touch with law enforcement in emergencies when there are direct threats to physical safety". "But we know we need to do better".
After the fatal shooting of the self-taught mechanic and grandfather of 14, authorities nationwide scrambled for two days to find Stephens.

What's even more interesting in these numbers are the sale figures Nintendo shared for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. That problem will only be exacerbated when games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe , Arms , and Splatoon 2 debut in the coming months.
On Tuesday, after a multi-day manhunt, police found the suspect, Steve Stephens, 37, in Pennsylvania.
"The drive-thru employee that was working at the time recognized him", the restaurant's owner, Tom Ducharme Jr., told ABC News. Authorities say officers tried to pull Stephens over and, after a brief pursuit, he shot and killed himself.
Authorities had hoped for a different outcome.
"This is something that should not have been shared around the world, period", said Williams, the police chief.
"We are grateful that this has ended".
Godwin's daughter, Brenda Haymon, learned of Stephens' death as she was planning funeral arrangements for her father.
"When I saw him I knew it was him".
Godwin will be laid to rest Saturday, almost a week after he his last meal with his children.
