A Burbank neighborhood is reeling after a son was charged with the murder of his own mother inside the family home. The Burbank Police Department reported that officers and paramedics were called to a house in the 800 block of North Avon Street late Tuesday night, where they discovered 57-year-old Karyn Lombardo unconscious. Attempts to save her life were unsuccessful, and she was declared dead at the scene, as detailed in a media release obtained by KTLA.

Investigation quickly focused on Karyn's 25-year-old son Kyle Lombardo, who is alleged to have caused her death during an altercation. According to Burbank police, evidence gathered at the site implicated Lombardo in the wrongdoing. He was arrested and booked for murder based on information obtained and evidence at the scene revealing he caused her death during an altercation in the family home. He is currently held on a $2 million bail and is set to appear in court on Thursday.

The sad turn of events has shocked the quiet Burbank community. Karyn Lombardo resided with her husband and her accused son. On the night of the tragedy, it is reported that there were no other individuals involved, and there is believed to be no ongoing threat to the local residents.

As the case proceeds to the legal system, more details may emerge about the circumstances that led to such an unfathomable outcome. Kyle Lombardo's court proceedings are anticipated by those who seek to understand what drives a person to possibly act so violently against his own kin. The case will to be forwarded to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, per confirmation from the Burbank Police Department.
