The man who randomly gunned down a Cleveland retiree and posted video of the crime on Facebook killed himself Tuesday after a police chase in Pennsylvania that began when a McDonald's drive-thru attendant recognized him.
Calls are growing for the heroic McDonald's workers who trapped the Facebook killer Steve Stephens at a drive-thru to get the $50,000 reward for his capture.
The social media network later removed the video.
Kevin Lyman agreed and even said he would throw in a pair of Warped Tour tickets as part of the offering.
Stephens took his six-piece Chicken McNuggets and declined to wait for the fries, however. Then, as Stephen's pulled around, the worker noticed the vehicle was a white Ford Fusion with temporary OH tags.
Henry Sayers, who manages the McDonald's franchise around 100 miles from where Godwin was shot down in cold blood, said his employees recognized Stephens as he made his order.
Stephens, who had no prior criminal record, was not suspected in any other killings, Cleveland officials had said.

Stephens, who worked for a children's mental health charity, shot dead Robert Godwin, 74, as the victim walked home from Easter lunch on Sunday.
"I am pretty sure he figured out that we were on to him", said DuCharme Jr.
The McDonald's employees tried to "buy some time for the cops" by telling Stephens his fries were delayed, but he said he had no time to wait and drove off, according to DuCharme.
Steve Stephens was accused of shooting Robert Godwin Sr, 74, on a Cleveland footpath on Sunday before fleeing in a auto and uploading a video of the murder to Facebook, becoming the subject of a nationwide manhunt. "I wish it had gone down like that instead of him shooting himself".

At a Silicon Valley conference Tuesday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg briefly addressed the Cleveland case, saying Facebook has "a lot of work to do" and that "we will keep doing all we can to prevent tragedies like this". He shouldn't have taken my baby-father and robbed them of him'. He should have given himself up to the police'.
