The shootings, which occurred over a 5-mile stretch in Kansas City, appear to be random and are not linked to the World Cup, according to police. A manhunt is underway, with a $25,000 FBI reward offered for information leading to his capture. Authorities previously engaged in a standoff with Sanchez-Munoz during which a fire broke out inside the house, preventing police from apprehending him. Experts suggest he poses an ongoing threat and may strike again if still at large.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Monday that the suspect who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/georgia-mass-shooting-kills-8-media-races-to-speculate-on-motive\/\" title=\"Georgia Mass Shooting Kills 8, Media Races To Speculate On Motive\">allegedly opened fire<\/a> near the FIFA World Cup in Kansas City last week, killing one and injuring four others, may be dead.<\/p>\n<p>Blanche told Fox &#038; Friends host Lawrence Jones that he believes 22-year-old Oscar Sanchez-Munoz, who is tied to the highway shootings near Arrowhead Stadium, is likely deceased, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/ag-blanche-says-world-cup-shooting-suspect-may-dead-police-remain-vigilant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe think we got him tracked to a house in Missouri.
