The incident occurred 3 a.m. Sunday at Lafayette and Green streets, where police reportedly found Christen Greene, 26, suffering from gunshot wounds, according to court documents. Greene allegedly told police Villifan-Andrade shot him.

Villifan-Andrade told police that Greene took money from him at gunpoint in his apartment and fled the scene, according to a joint investigation by Montgomery County Detective Bureau and Norristown Police.

Authorities say Villifan-Andrade then chased Greene, tripping him and as he fell, Greene dropped a gun.

An autopsy concluded Greene died from multiple gunshot wounds with blunt force trauma to the head.

A recovered bullet suggested Villifan-Andrade shot Greene when his back was turned to him, according to court documents.

Authorities say they found Villifan-Andrade with a handgun when they took him into custody.
