Sree Ranga Aravapalli, a 54-year old CEO at Aurex Laboratories, had been followed 50 miles from the Parx Casino in Bensalem, Pennsylvania after cashing out around $10,000 the night of Oct. 26.  Aravapalli was shot multiple times.  The alleged killer is 27-year-old Jekai Reid-John, of Norristown, Pa, who police say followed Aravapalli home after spotting him with the loot.

A camera at a nearby farmstand caught footage of Avarapalli driving home in the early morning, with Reid-John trailing him close behind, police told NBC 4. The same camera later caught him driving back.

Reid-John was arrested and charged last week in Montgomery County, Pa. with one count of first-degree murder.

The CEO of Parx Casino Eric Hausler released a statement in which he said his business is cooperating with law enforcement in its investigation.
