As Daily Voice has reported, 35-year-old Tyrone Guy was shot on West Main Street in Norristown at about 10 p.m. Monday, Nov. 21. He died of his injuries early Tuesday morning, officials said. 

Now, Norristown police say Guy caught his killer on camera. 

In the criminal complaint released Wednesday, Nov. 23, authorities said they found Guy's phone on the ground, still recording, at the scene of the crime.

Forensic analysts reviewed the video, which began in the middle of a confrontation between Guy and the shooter. 

"You trying to record me?" the shooter is heard asking Guy, according to the criminal complaint. 

The suspect is then seen slapping the phone from Guy's hand, police said. Moments after it hits the ground, multiple gunshots are heard. 

Investigators say they identified the man in the video from his clothes. The suspect is seen wearing a dark jacket with a distinct red and white logo on the upper left side of the chest. 

Police say the man is Eugene Ware of Philadelphia, a 41-year-old who makes and sells the clothing brand seen in the cell phone video. A post on Ware's Instagram shows him wearing the same jacket seen in the victim's recording, authorities noted. 

Ware remains at large. He is described as a 5-foot-8 black man weighing about 165 pounds and is considered armed and dangerous.
