Hyde has been misattributed as the "lone white gunman" during shootings in San Bernardino, Kalamazoo, Baton Rouge, and Orlando, among others, and now, a Texas church shooting, which killed at least 26.

Reviewbrah is a teenage vlogger on YouTube which became a well-known meme and was also incorrectly reported as missing after the Manchester shooting and the one in Las Vegas.
