Summary

  • Decomposing remains believed to be Oscar Sanchez-Munoz were found Wednesday in the basement of a burned Independence, Missouri, home after his family cleared debris and noticed a strong odor.
  • Police said clothing on the body matched what the 22-year-old suspect wore during last week’s attacks, though a medical examiner still must confirm identity and cause of death.
  • The discovery likely ends a seven-day multi-agency manhunt for Sanchez-Munoz, who was sought in at least six shootings across multiple states and carried a $25,000 FBI reward.
  • The highway shooting spree near Kansas City World Cup venues killed one person and wounded four others, including an Uber driver transporting soccer fans; authorities said there is no ongoing threat and surviving victims are expected to recover.
