Son of beloved Burbank elementary school teacher charged with her murder
Prosecutors on Thursday filed a murder charge against the Burbank man accused of killing his own mother, a beloved teacher in the Burbank Unified School District. Authorities say Kyle Lombardo, 25, killed his mother Karyn Lombardo, 57, during an altercation at the family's home on North Avon Street Tuesday evening. “It is also my understanding at this time that this tragedy is the result of an accident following an altercation between a son and a mother who my client deeply loved,” said Jimmy Chu, a public defender assigned to Kyle’s case. Karyn’s official cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head, according to the coroner’s office. Karyn had worked at Bret Harte Elementary School for over 30 years. A makeshift memorial with flowers and personal notes continued to grow outside Hart Elementary on Thursday as the school community grieved. KTLA's Carlos Saucedo reports on May 9, 2024.
