FBI offers $25,000 reward in Kansas City shooting manhunt

The FBI has put up to $25,000 on the table for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of Oscar Sanchez-Munoz, a 22-year-old whom officials describe as armed and dangerous. The reward raises the stakes in a manhunt that has stretched across the Kansas City metro, where investigators are tying together shootings in Kansas City, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri, along major roadways.

FBI records say the Kansas City Field Office is assisting the Kansas City, Kansas, Police Department in the case. Sanchez-Munoz was wanted for shooting at a motor vehicle on June 11 in Wyandotte County, Kansas, and the FBI said he was charged on June 16 in Wyandotte County District Court with Criminal Discharge of a Firearm. A state warrant was issued for his arrest tied to that incident.

Authorities also believe Sanchez-Munoz may be involved in a string of shootings in Kansas City, Missouri, on June 16. Those shootings were reported along Interstate 670, Interstate 70 and Truman Road, a corridor that cut through the city and left one person dead and four others injured. Police in Kansas City, Missouri, continued searching for him as the manhunt entered its third day by June 19.

The case now spans both sides of the state line and highlights how quickly a local shooting can become a cross-jurisdiction operation. Investigators are working from the June 11 incident in Wyandotte County to the June 16 violence in Kansas City, Missouri, suggesting a timeline that moved from one county’s criminal court into a broader regional search.

For residents and drivers, the immediate concern is that law enforcement says the suspect remains at large and should be considered dangerous. The focus on interstate routes also underscores the importance of rapid information-sharing between agencies when violence unfolds on roads that connect neighborhoods, counties and states. In a case marked by one death, four injuries and a growing reward, officers are treating every tip as part of a wider public-safety effort.
