Mother Paralyzed, Son Killed in Pennsylvania Home Invasion Targeting Wrong House

Two suspects, seeking a gun cache based on false information, mistakenly broke into the wrong home, leading to tragic consequences.

  • Bernadette Gaudio, 61, was left paralyzed, and her son Andrew Gaudio, 25, was fatally shot during a December 8 home invasion in Lower Merion Township, Pennsylvania.
  • The suspects, Kelvin Roberts and Charles Fulforth, targeted the wrong house after receiving an incorrect tip about a cache of guns at a similar address.
  • Both suspects, former employees of a junk removal business, have been charged with first-degree murder and are being held without bail.
  • Investigators linked the suspects to the crime through surveillance footage, cell phone data, and evidence found at their homes, including a ghost gun believed to be the murder weapon.
  • The Gaudio family’s Jeep and stolen items were recovered, and a community fundraiser has raised over $265,000 to support Bernadette following the tragic loss of her son.
