comment
The start of many a Detective Drama.
We see the murder from the murderer's point of view.
Leads to a Reverse Whodunnit, unless the Murderer P. O. V. is composed in such a way as to keep the killer's identity a secret (for example, via an Over the Shoulder shot or an actual P.O.V. Cam shot).
The most common variety, mostly exclusive to murder mysteries, is when the victim casually greets their killer before realising their purpose. Genre Blind victims may even be relieved, and respond with "Oh, it's just you" or similar comments. Death by Recognition ensues.
See also "Jaws" First-Person Perspective.
Compare the related tropes Impending Doom P.O.V., Robocam, Stalker Shot, Shaky P.O.V. Cam.

In the American Dad! episode "Tears of a Clooney", Stan finds his and Francine's apartment completely trashed and realizes that Francine knows about Stan's friendship with her enemy George Clooney and went berserk. The lights suddenly go off and a we get a "night vision" look from Francine's point of view.\, with Stan backing away as she brandishes a razor toward him and apparently murders him. She merely cut off his sideburn.

Stargate SG-1:
This happens in "Smoke and Mirrors" — we see the murderer loading the gun in slow motion, aiming at Senator Kinsey, and firing, without actually seeing the murderer's face. Moments later, Jack O'Neill (actually the murderer using Imported Alien Phlebotinum to disguise himself) exits the building and casually walks away. Of course, O'Neill is framed, and the rest of the episode is spent on the SGC's attempts to free him.
In one episode, Mitchell believes he's guilty of a murder with all evidence leading toward him. A mind-reading device shows the murder from his perspective to investigators, needless to say, the mind-reading device is also a mind editing device which was used by the real killer to wipe his own mind of the vile deed and implant the memory into Mitchell's mind. This entire premise is a complete rip-off of an earlier (by 7 years no less) episode of Star Trek: Voyager (see below).

A calling card of several Monk episodes. The most notable is "Mr. Monk and the Critic", in which John Hannigan shows up at Callie Esterhaus's hotel room, acts like he is going to propose to her, then throws her off the balcony, and the entire scene is done from Hannigan's POV in one continuous shot.

Weaponized in Anon where everyone has eye implants that record everything they see. To avert the victim seeing him, the killer hacks the view from his own P.O.V. Cam onto that of the victims, leaving them too terrified and confused to put up a fight.

The first book of The Balanced Sword trilogy opens on the night of Kyri's parents' murder, told from the viewpoint of one of the attackers, complete with a "You!" Exclamation from the victims when they recognise their assailants. At intervals through the book, there are interludes from the viewpoint of the attackers' ringleader; each interlude reveals more about him, but the audience doesn't learn who he is until Kyri does. In the second and third novels, interludes feature the Big Bad, again without explicitly revealing Its identity.

Used to great effect in The Sandman (1989), where the Corinthian is first introduced from his POV (even though he doesn't actually have eyes!) and can be seen murdering and torturing people and eating their eyeballs with the mouths he has instead of eyes. Used again later on, where the Kindly Ones are never actually seen as they ravage the Dreaming, and only their weapons and shadows are seen.

Used in much of the original Black Christmas (1974).

Nobody Sleeps in the Woods Tonight II: In one scene, we see Adas, Wanessa, Mariusz, and Janeczka inside the cabin from Zosia's P.O.V., while she's looking in on them through a window from the outside.

Many, many of the intros to the cases of the Ace Attorney games. Just as frequently subverted by presenting the case intro in the exact same manner... but from the point of view of a bystander, or even the eventual victim.

In Strange Days, this trope is put to highly disturbing effect, as the killer wears a 'rig' that captures his sensory input during a murder/rape, and then sends a copy of it to the protagonist; in order to see what's on the disc, the protaganist puts it on, and experiences the killer's arousal as well. The victim had it even worse, as the rapist forced her to wear the viewing device during the act—so she'll feel the rape from both her own perspective and the perpetrator's, up to and including his enjoyment of her terror and pain.
Similiar devices (dramatic and mechanical) are used in the short lived science fiction legal drama Century City and a few episodes of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.

The Family Guy episode "And Then There Were Fewer" lampshades the way this trick is used to maintain the anonymity of the one whodunit. "Why, it's you!" says the murderer's next victim to the camera. "The man or woman who's been killing everyone!"

In one episode, Mitchell believes he's guilty of a murder with all evidence leading toward him. A mind-reading device shows the murder from his perspective to investigators, needless to say, the mind-reading device is also a mind editing device which was used by the real killer to wipe his own mind of the vile deed and implant the memory into Mitchell's mind. This entire premise is a complete rip-off of an earlier (by 7 years no less) episode of Star Trek: Voyager (see below).

Used in Chevy Chase's death in Oh! Heavenly Dog, after which Chevy comes back to life in Benji's body to solve his own murder. Roger Ebert rightfully tore this movie to pieces.

Venus Prime 3 ends with Nemo arranging the murder of his associate Lord Kingman. Whereas most of the series up to that point had been narrated in third-person and past tense, this scene is entirely done in first-person present tense.
