In the fall of 2014, Godofredo Moreno, 72, and his wife Martha were found dead on the morning of October 16 in a bedroom of their south Wichita home by their son. Initial reports of stab wounds were later corrected: both victims had suffered multiple gunshot wounds. There were no signs of forced entry.

Investigators concluded the motive was robbery after the couple’s vehicle was stolen and later found burned in a field in southwestern Sedgwick County. One of the suspects was an acquaintance of the Morenos’ son, which led police to two suspects: 19-year-old Steven Wade Edwards II and 17-year-old Carlos Delacadena-Edwards. Court documents say the pair went to the house to collect a debt, Edwards forced his way in at gunpoint, demanded money and keys, then shot both victims before leaving in the car.

Edwards was charged with capital murder and later convicted, receiving two life sentences plus ten years. Carlos Delacadena-Edwards, tried as an adult, pleaded to amended charges including two counts of second-degree intentional murder and aggravated robbery and was sentenced to nearly 30 years. Does anyone have information about the Moreno family or the events leading up to that October morning?
