Ely Updates Details of Live Streamed Attack

YouTuber Ely released a new video that filled in some of the details surrounding the altercation with YouTuber E.Z. Camera To that resulted in Ely’s stabbing and hospitalization Friday night in Yonkers, New York.

In the new footage, taken from E.Z. Camera To’s live stream, E.Z. is in front of Ely’s house when the footage begins. He briefly calls out Ely and then is joined by a man Ely identified as YouTuber sirocyonkers4489. The two discuss what is about to happen as E.Z. indicates that he is seeking revenge on Ely for calling him out on the day of his daughter’s birthday party.

E.Z. camera holds up his padded glove to the camera and laughs, claiming that he’ll knock out Ely. He briefly exits the car and enters Ely’s apartment building, come out to say that he’d wait until Ely got home and fully intended to assault Ely.

The video then switches to Ely appearing on The People’s Podcast TV, describing the situation going on outside. It then again switches to Ely’s wife’s footage of the fight between Ely and E.Z. until the camera cuts out midway through the fight.

Again, switching camera feeds, E.Z.’s live stream, with the camera held by Siroc, was now featured. With Ely getting the upper hand until E.Z. clearly reaches in his pocket. Ely yells that he’s got a knife and E.Z. stabbed Ely multiple times with the knife, assuming his own ground and pound position on Ely before being told to stop by Siroc.

Siroc and E.Z. jubilantly celebrated beating Ely as they returned to Siroc’s car and fled the scene.

The final section of the video featured a neighbor’s footage of the aftermath of the stabbing. Police were on scene along with an ambulance as they loaded Ely onto a gurney. The neighbor briefly entered the crime scene to confirm that it was Ely before police asked her to return to her building.

Footage shot and shared independently on the Youngers Voice YouTube channel confirmed the stabbing and the aftermath of the incident. Police were reportedly in search of a gray car belonging to the assailant.

Negative interactions between YouTubers resulting in confrontations at YouTubers’ houses gained popularity last October when Sssniperwolf showed up at YouTuber jacksfilms’ house and doxed his address to her 34 million YouTube followers. She was briefly punished by YouTube with lost monetization.

In our own community, YouTubers Irish Demon and Shuggy went to Wales to confront Daniel Jones of the Welsh News Network in May, airing a live stream that exposed Jones’ many lies about living in a palatial estate. While Demon and Shuggy have been praised for their exposé on Jones, they had received criticism for confronting Jones at his house and both later discouraged the practice.

The premeditated attack on Ely, despite Ely’s controversial stand within the First Amendment auditing community, is the first of note where violence occurred during the doxing. E.Z. clearly planned the assault and has now removed the footage from his YouTube channel.

We will continue to provide updates on the situation as we receive them.
