Four murder charges -- two each of first degree and second degree -- were added to the nine other charges filed against him last week, including assault, kidnapping and burglary.

Mendota Heights police say Nguyen robbed a grandmother, broke into a senior care facility, then shot and killed Cory, who worked in a nearby office building.

It took police three days to find Nguyen. He could be sentenced to more than a century in prison.
