A man linked to at least six slayings — including the fatal shooting of a Dunkin’ Donuts manager — has been busted thanks to a Rite Aid cashier, who tossed a GPS tracker in a bag of cash he allegedly grabbed during an armed robbery in Delaware, police said.

Keith Gibson, 39, was tracked down by officers on Tuesday morning about a block away from the drug store where he allegedly pistol-whipped a cashier in Wilmington, news station KYW-TV reported.

Police said the clerk put a GPS tracker in the bag of cash before handing it over to him.

He was discovered wearing a bullet-resistant vest nearby with a loaded firearm and a knife, police said.

In addition to the armed robbery, Gibson is being investigated in at least six homicides — including the recent killing of Dunkin’ Donuts manager Christine Lugo in Philadelphia.

Police said the gunman took about $300 and fatally shot the mother of two in the head about 5:30 a.m. Saturday as she was opening the store for business.

Gibson is also being probed in the death of his 54-year-old mother, Christine, who was found shot to death at her workplace in February, and the slaying of a MetroPCS cellphone store manager in Elsmere in May, news station NBC10 reported.

Police said he’s also a person of interest in the slayings of two men who were found gunned down at a North Philadelphia store in January, as well in the fatal street robbery of a man in Delaware early Sunday.

Philadelphia Chief Inspector Frank Vanore said Gibson had been paroled last year after serving time in prison for a previous slaying in Delaware.

He’s also suspected of committing two armed robberies in the state before he was busted Tuesday, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

Investigators Wednesday were working to link the crimes by performing ballistic tests on a .357 revolver believed to have been used in the slayings, police said.

“All of this is very active,” Vanore said Wednesday.

A spokeswoman for the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office said an arrest warrant charging Gibson in Lugo’s slaying was approved Wednesday, with additional charges in other incidents “likely,” the Inquirer reported.

Police in Philadelphia previously probed him in his mother’s slaying, ultimately detaining him because the mother’s neighbors spotted him in the city, which violated his parole, the Inquirer reported.

“At that point, we could not link him to the murder,” Vanore said Wednesday.

Gibson was released from prison last June, but had to serve six months at a community corrections center. He then violated his probation by fighting with other offenders and received an additional six months in custody and 18 months of probation upon his release, Delaware Department of Corrections spokesman Jason Miller said.

He has now been charged with robbery and other felony counts in Wilmington, where he was ordered held on $305,000 cash-only bail, police said.

“At this time our investigation remains ongoing and we are not able to release further information,” Wilmington police spokesman David Karas told The Post in an email.
