A horrifying video shows Austin tech entrepreneur Rajan 'Raj' Moonesinghe being shot dead by local police as he inspected the perimeter of his home for an intruder with a rifle in his hands.
Moonesinghe, 33, a successful tech entrepreneur who had moved to the wealthy South Austin neighborhood about five years ago, was killed on the front porch of his home on November 15. As he lay dying, he said the words: 'It wasn't me.'
At around 12.30am, Moonesinghe told a neighbor that someone was in his house and he was going to call 911, the WSJ reported.
Police arrived on the scene just five minutes later, moments after Moonesinghe fired two shots into his own living room - and four shots were fired that killed the businessman.
Across the street from his home, a private security guard for his neighbor had already called the police to report what Moonesinghe was doing.
The guard said in a call to a dispatcher: 'He almost seems to be scared of something inside his house.
'He's pointing the rifle at the interior of his home,' he said, before Moonesinghe called into his living room and fired shots inside.

This was a sad tragic mistake.
The home owner should have immediately laid down his gun and put his hands in the air when the police arrived at the scene.
The police do not know who the suspect is or who the victim is.
