A 19-year-old man identified by fellow streamers as StomperIRL was detained by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) after shots were fired into a crowd of thousands at a World Cup watch party in Los Angeles, leaving one fan with a bleeding leg wound. The shots erupted suddenly at 6:40 pm on 18 June 2026 near James M Wood Boulevard and Normandie Avenue, about a block from Seoul International Park, where Mexico and South Korea fans had gathered to watch their team's match, before police brought a man into custody.
Viral footage from fellow streamer Cellfmade's live broadcast captures the moment a man, appearing to be StomperIRL, asks 'Should I shoot my s*** right now?' seconds before gunshots ring out and people scatter in panic. LAPD has not confirmed the detained man's identity or what charges he faces, sparking urgent questions across streaming communities about whether StomperIRL will be jailed for the Koreatown shooting.
