On October 7, 2015, 72-year-old Delphina Mederios was found dead in the yard of her home in the 9800 block of Meadow Star Drive in the Stead area of Reno, Nevada, after police responded to reports of gunfire. Neighbors described her 54-year-old son, Edward Samuel Pundyk, acting erratically, arguing with himself and seen armed before a gunshot was heard. Officers say Pundyk fired multiple shots, struck his mother at least once and shot one of the household cats.

A large police response followed: nearby houses were evacuated, and SWAT and a bomb squad were deployed while Pundyk retreated into the backyard. He was taken into custody and charged with open murder with a deadly weapon. The defense raised insanity and mental health history; a jury later convicted Pundyk of first-degree murder with use of a deadly weapon and he received a life sentence with parole eligibility after a minimum of 29 years.

Did anyone in the Stead neighborhood see anything unusual around Meadow Star Drive that afternoon or know Delphina and her family?
