Summary
Kansas City police said a body found Wednesday in a basement is preliminarily Oscar Sanchez-Munoz, the 22-year-old suspected in last week's roadway shootings.
Relatives alerted police after finding what appeared to be a body buried under clutter in the basement of his fire-damaged Independence, Missouri, home, which officers had already searched last week.
Detectives said the deceased person was wearing the same clothes Sanchez-Munoz had on the night of the June 16 attacks; a medical examiner will confirm identity and determine the cause of death.
Police said Sanchez-Munoz carried out five back-to-back shootings that killed one person and wounded several others, ending a weeklong manhunt as Kansas City hosted two World Cup matches at Arrowhead Stadium.
