Larisa Pak, 66, was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds to the chest in her home on Mini Ranch Road in Waxhaw, North Carolina, on Sunday, June 28, 2026. Deputies entered after a welfare check requested by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department; a man who had walked into a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police station and said he had committed a crime later identified himself as her 32-year-old son, Slava Pak.

Earlier that same day, investigators in neighboring Chester County, South Carolina, had responded to a shooting near the Great Falls Nature Trail Access in which a person was shot in the face and survived. Authorities identified Slava Pak as a suspect in that shooting and contacted Larisa Pak’s home, prompting the welfare check that led to her discovery. The investigation is ongoing and the events that day involved multiple jurisdictions.

Does anyone have information about Larisa Pak, her activities in Waxhaw, or about the events near Great Falls Nature Trail Access that could help investigators?
