On the morning of October 16, 2014, 70-year-old Martha Moreno and her husband Godofredo were found dead on the bedroom floor of their south Wichita home by their son. Autopsies determined both died of multiple gunshot wounds; early reports had mistakenly suggested stabbing. Investigators concluded the killings were tied to a robbery: the couple’s car was stolen and later found burned in a field in southwestern Sedgwick County. There were no signs of forced entry, and police say one of the suspects was an acquaintance of the Morenos’ son.

Within days two suspects were taken into custody: 19-year-old Steven Wade Edwards II and 17-year-old Carlos Delacadena-Edwards. Authorities allege the pair went to the home to collect a debt they said the son owed, that Edwards forced his way inside at gunpoint, led Martha to the bedroom, demanded money and the vehicle, and then shot both victims. Steven Wade Edwards II was convicted and given two life sentences; the younger defendant was also charged. Did anyone in south Wichita know the Morenos or the young men involved and have information that could shed more light on what happened?
