Lucifer Nguyen Indicted For Office Worker's Murder

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A New Hope man is formally charged with murder in a crime spree in July that shook a small St. Paul suburb.

A grand jury indicted Lucifer Nguyen Friday for the death of Beverly Cory.

Four murder charges -- two each of first degree and second degree -- were added to the nine other charges filed against him last week, including assault, kidnapping and burglary.

Mendota Heights police say Nguyen robbed a grandmother, broke into a senior care facility, then shot and killed Cory, who worked in a nearby office building.

It took police three days to find Nguyen. He could be sentenced to more than a century in prison.
