He added that it was part of a planned robbery of Lopez and another man, identified as Heriberto Galeana-Galvan, with a “group of known individuals.”
WBNS reported that a maintenance worker found Lopez and Galeana-Galvan shot inside a garage on Dec. 31, 2012.
They both died from their injuries.
Pugh is scheduled to appear in court today.
