NORRISTOWN, P.A. (KYW Newsradio) — After about four hours of deliberation, a jury in Montgomery County has found two men guilty of first-degree murder and other charges in connection with a fatal home invasion in Lower Merion last year.
Kelvin Roberts, 42, and Charles Fulforth, 41, were found guilty of most of the charges they faced in the shooting death of 25-year-old Andrew Gaudio and paralysis of his mother Bernadette during the early morning of Dec. 8, 2024.
Other charges included attempted murder, burglary and robbery. The only one they got off on was conspiracy to commit murder.
Prosecutors said Roberts and Fulforth broke into the Gaudio's home looking for guns, but were at the wrong address. They were given a different one by co-workers at the junk removal company where they worked, who said they found guns while at another property on a Meredith Road in Bucks County.
Instead, Roberts and Fulforth put the wrong address in their GPS, and ended up at the Meredith Road home of the Gaudio's in Wynnewood, where Andrew was shot multiple times, including in the back of the head, and killed. His 62-year-old mother was also shot multiple times, but was able call authorities using voice command on her phone.
A third man who worked at the junk removal company in Willow Grove with Fulforth and Roberts, Jeremy Fuentes, is also charged with murder and other crimes in connection to the home invasion.
The first-degree murder charge carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison.
