PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) \u2014 A suspected serial killer is expected to face a jury today on four murders in Philadelphia after being convicted in Delaware nearly three years ago for two other murders and shootings. One of the victims was his own mother.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors said a gun ties Keith Gibson to all four killings.<\/p>\n
The slayings started in January of 2021: Eric Flores and Roy Caban were found shot execution style inside their store, Al Madinah Traders along Germantown Avenue, not far from Broad and Erie. <\/p>\n
A month later, Keith\u2019s mother, Christine Gibson, was fatally shot inside a community center office along Ridge Avenue. In June, Christine Lugo was working her manager shift at Dunkin Donuts in North Philadelphia when she was killed during a robbery. The incident was caught on surveillance video. <\/p>\n
In all three shootings, prosecutors said Keith pulled the trigger.<\/p>\n
Gibson allegedly told a friend about killing his mother for insurance money\u2014 and that friend called police with a tip about the shooter’s identity, after seeing news reports and surveillance video tied to Lugo\u2019s killing.<\/p>\n
Keith was arrested in Delaware following another armed robbery at a Rite Aid, where he also shot a store clerk.<\/p>\n
He is serving seven life sentences for killing two people in Delaware during robberies.<\/p>\n
Gibson has been notoriously disruptive in court proceedings, but was ruled mentally competent for trial. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) \u2014 A suspected serial killer is expected to face a jury today on four murders…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":208384,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[69,71,70,91576,22285,91577],"class_list":["post-208383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-philadelphia-serial-killer","tag-serial-killer","tag-serial-killer-philadelphia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=208383"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208383\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/208384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=208383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=208383"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=208383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
