According to prosecutors and court filings, a man from Florida executed a chilling murder caught on camera and proceeded to take selfies with the victim’s gold medallion, which he allegedly grabbed from the victim’s neck.

Marcuss Ealy, aged 22, faces charges of first-degree murder and armed robbery involving a firearm or deadly weapon for the 2023 fatal shooting of 21-year-old Malcolm Avery Johnson Jr. The incident occurred near Northwest 170th Street and Northwest 3rd Avenue in North Miami Beach, as reported by the State Attorney’s Office.

A motion for pretrial detention filed last week in the state’s 11th Circuit outlines what Ealy allegedly did and how his own mother pointed him out in photos and provided sworn statements to police, saying: “This was my worst nightmare, somebody killing Marcuss or Marcuss killing someone.”

Surveillance cameras set up at a local business near the scene allegedly captured what went down, with cops showing Ealy’s mom still photos from the footage of Ealy and another man, Mario Folger, committing the deadly heist together on May 30, 2023, per prosecutors.

“Yes, it’s them,” Ebony Lundy told officers after being shown the photos, according to the motion for pretrial detention. The document states that Ealy’s brother also aided cops by declaring that “the shooter is 100% his brother Marcuss” when contacted by investigators and shown still photos from the video.

The brother further indicated that he has seen the gun being used to kill Johnson in Instagram posts put up by Ealy, according to prosecutors.

Ealy’s alleged accomplice, Fogler, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in March and received a 20-year sentence, according to local NBC affiliate WTVJ. He is expected to testify against Ealy at his trial, the station reported.
