A Philadelphia teenager who authorities say used a stolen mobile phone to snap a photo of himself that automatically got sent to the victim has turned himself in.
Eighteen-year-old Kadeem Cook turned himself in around 11:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Cook is the main suspect in an armed robbery on October 7.
The victim's cell phone was taken during the robbery. The 20-year-old woman had programmed her phone so that it would automatically send photos to her home computer.
Some time after the robbery, she received a photo of a young man holding a large handgun to his head.
After the photo was released, the gunman was identified as Cook and an arrest warrant was issued.
