FBI Offers $25,000 Reward for Suspect in Kansas City Highway Shootings

The FBI Kansas City field office announced a reward of up to $25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Oscar Sanchez-Munoz. Sanchez-Munoz, 22, is described as a White and Hispanic man, 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing about 184 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes and a tattoo on his right forearm.

Kansas City Police Department officials said they believe Sanchez-Munoz is the prime suspect in five shootings Tuesday night along Interstate 70 in Kansas City, Missouri, just miles from Arrowhead Stadium where several FIFA World Cup matches were being held.

One person was killed, another suffered serious injuries, and multiple others, including an Uber driver shot in the leg while taking fans to the World Cup match between Argentina and Algeria, were injured. A state warrant was issued Tuesday for Sanchez-Munoz’s arrest after he allegedly shot at a car on June 11 in Wyandotte County, Kansas.

He also faces a criminal discharge of a firearm charge and has an outstanding warrant in the same county for aggravated assault carrying a $100,000 bond.

The Kansas City shootings prompted an intense overnight standoff at a home in Independence, Missouri. The house caught fire during the standoff. After the fire was extinguished Wednesday morning, investigators, K-9 units and Missouri State Fire Marshals searched the burned property but did not locate Sanchez-Munoz.

Authorities recovered the car believed to be involved in the Tuesday night shootings. No potential motives have been released as of Saturday afternoon. The FBI and KCPD urge the public to call 911 immediately if they spot Sanchez-Munoz, who should be considered armed and dangerous.
