I don't think Twitch has automated system to detect real life murder on stream. It definitely has automation to detect copyrighted music, however it relies on people to flag other stuff.
My assumption is that most of the viewers of the mass murderer's livestream, weren't reporting him or weren't reporting him fast enough.
Gaming has sadly becoming cesspool that creates extremist, but I'm not talking about the violence depiction, more of the community, where you hear slurs being hurled all the time, and streamers and youtubers that are leaning towards bigoted views are being rewarded and promoted by the platforms.
It's not the only pipeline, of course. From 4chan, alt-right sites, youtube, gaming forums, fox news, epoch times, etc.
