The arrest in the killing of a man found in an SUV in Philadelphia earlier this month came after police tracked the case to a shooting outside a motorcycle club in Camden through the victim’s Find My iPhone app, according to court documents.
Investigators determined Jody Spence, 31, was shot once in the head outside of the Wheels of Soul Motorcycle Club on the 800 block of Princess Avenue in Camden at about 10.30pm Oct 6, according to the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office.
Spence’s body was found two days later in the rear of an SUV on the 400 block of North 5th Street in Philadelphia, officials said.
Investigators then learned of a second phone associated with Spence and used its Find My Phone app to locate the device in Camden near where he had been shot, according to an affidavit of probable cause outlining the murder charge against Michael Field.
Detectives then collected surveillance video from the area that showed Spence walking along a street in Camden before being shot by a man in a fluorescent jacket, authorities said. The gunman then walked back into a building only to exit a short time later and enter the passenger seat of a vehicle that fled the area, according to the affidavit.
Authorities then poured over additional surveillance and identified Field as the shooter, authorities said.
Field, 44, was arrested Thursday in Trenton by the US Marshals Service. The Camden County Prosecutor’s Office said Field is from Philadelphia. The charging document states he resides in Camden. – nj.com/Tribune News Service
