Police say Lugo was opening the Dunkin' located on the 500 block of West Lehigh Avenue in Philadelphia's Fairhill section just before 5:30 a.m. Saturday, June 5 when Gibson fatally shot her during a robbery.
Police say after the Dunkin' shooting, he shot and critically wounded a 19-year-old in Wilmington and pistol-whipped a female worker at a Rite Aid in New Castle.
On Feb. 8, police say he killed his own mother at a location on Ridge Avenue and on May 15 officials say he killed a worker at a T-Mobile store in Elsmere, Delaware.
In 2008, he was convicted and served time for committing a homicide and commercial robbery in Delaware.
Wilmington police confirm Gibson was taken into custody on June 8 in connection with an armed robbery around 8:20 a.m. He was charged with first-degree robbery and is being held in Delaware.
When he was captured, police say he was wearing a bulletproof vest and was armed with a knife and loaded gun. A revolver that is preliminarily believed to be connected to many of the shootings was recovered.
