2nd arrest made in deadly home invasion in Lower Merion, Pennsylvania
The second suspect wanted in a deadly home invasion in Lower Merion Township, Pennsylvania, has been arrested.
Kelvin Roberts was arrested at his place of employment, Junkluggers in Willow Grove, Tuesday morning, according to the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office.
Police allege Roberts and Charles Fulforth broke into 25-year-old Andrew Gaudio's home on Dec. 8, shooting Gaudio and his mother.
Gaudio was killed in the alleged home invasion, and his mother, Bernadette Gaudio, was left paralyzed.
Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele said last week an arrest warrant was issued for Roberts for the murder of Gaudio. Roberts also had two warrants for theft, one for receiving stolen property in North Wales and the other for commercial burglary in Philadelphia, Steele added.
Fulforth was arrested last week and faces several charges, including second-degree murder and robbery.
According to police, Bernadette Gaudio called the police after she was shot multiple times shortly before 2:30 a.m. in her home in the unit block of Meredith Road in Wynnewood. Investigators believe Roberts and Fulforth broke into the house through the basement.
A Lower Merion Township police officer pulled in front of a white Hyundai Azera that was trying to leave the scene, according to the affidavit of probable cause. The car was able to veer out of the officer's direction and sped away.
The affidavit states that the officer did not know when the driver was involved in the alleged crimes, so he did not pursue the car.
Police claim dash camera footage showed Roberts as the driver of the car.
Last week, Steele said detectives met with a source who told them Roberts was criminally involved with Fulforth, his boss at Junkluggers.
Investigators are still determining a motive in the case.
