Jurors viewed video surveillance footage of two fatal shootings.
Signage marks the exterior of the New Castle County Courthouse, Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2023, in Wilmington, Del. The courthouse is the scene of a trial that began Monday, Oct. 30, for Keith Gibson, an alleged serial killer suspected in the deaths of several people in Delaware and Pennsylvania. Jurors in the trial of a suspected serial killer accused in the deaths of six people in Delaware and Pennsylvania were shown video surveillance footage Tuesday of two fatal shootings.
The Philadelphia district attorney, meanwhile, has approved murder charges against Gibson for the killings of his mother and a Philadelphia doughnut shop manager, as well as the deaths of two men found shot in the head inside a store in Philadelphia’s Germantown neighborhood in January 2021. Authorities say they will pursue those charges after Gibson is prosecuted in Delaware.
Kurul later showed jurors a photo of Ruiz-Basilio’s body, lying next to a large pool of blood, as members of her family wept quietly. Earlier on the same day Wright was shot, Christine Lugo, 40, was confronted by a gunman as she opened a Dunkin’ shop in north Philadelphia. Police say Gibson pushed her inside, took about $300 and shot her in the head, a killing that also was captured on surveillance video.
In his opening statement, defense attorney Richard Sparaco reminded the jury that Gibson is entitled to the presumption of innocence.“There will be no DNA evidence that unequivocally links Mr. Gibson to these crimes,” Sparaco added. "There’s nothing to tie Mr. Gibson forensically to any of these scenes … and that, ladies and gentlemen, is reasonable doubt.”
