The horrifying event unfolded in real-time, and although the original livestream has since been taken down from YouTube, a clip capturing the shocking moment has gone viral across social media platforms.
Eyewitnesses and viewers of the livestream recall seeing the couple smiling, chatting, and enjoying the vibrant Las Vegas nightlife moments before tragedy struck.
