Wrong house was targeted in Lower Merion home invasion, murder of Andrew Gaudio: Pennsylvania DA

LOWER MERION TWP., Pa. — According to investigators, the individuals who unlawfully entered a residence in Pennsylvania earlier this month and fired at two individuals, resulting in one fatality, mistakenly targeted the incorrect house.

The two individuals implicated in this incident, Kelvin Roberts, aged 42, from Philadelphia, and Charles Fulforth, aged 41, from Jenkintown, have been formally charged with first-degree murder.

“They harbored malicious motives upon arriving at the residence and fatally shot an innocent 61-year-old woman while she was in her bed, subsequently murdering her 25-year-old son,” stated Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele.

Steele noted that he used the word “executed” because the son, Andrew Gaudio, was shot in the back of the head as he was on the floor of his mother’s bedroom in Lower Merion Township.

“He was face down when the shot to the back of the head came,” Steele said.

His mother, Bernadette, was sleeping in her bed when one of the suspects entered and shot her. She survived and managed to call police.

Steele said the two suspects worked at Junkluggers, a junk removal business, in Willow Grove.

On Dec. 6, Junkluggers employees did an estimate at a house in Bucks County with a similar address to the victims’ home in Lower Merion Twp., Montgomery County.

Following that estimate, information was given to Fulforth, and then Roberts, about “a whole lot of guns” being in the Bucks County house, Steele said.

“Seemingly what got lost in translation is where the intended house was,” Steele said. “It was simply the wrong house.”

Montgomery County DA Kevin Steele revealed new details about a fatal home invasion in Lower Merion Twp. on Dec. 17, 2024.

The shooting happened around 2:20 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 8 inside a home on Meredith Road.

Roberts was arrested at Junkluggers on Tuesday morning. Fulforth was arrested last week.

Steele said they want to know if anyone who got an estimate or hired Junkluggers had items stolen or had their homes burglarized.

Investigators also want know who told the suspects about the house with the guns in Bucks County.

“There was someone within the business that was feeding them information, and our investigation is ongoing,” Steele said.

He also said the suspects are “clearly” involved in gun trafficking, noting that a 3D printer and indications of a “ghost gun” were found.

Anyone with information should contact the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office.
