He was last known to be in Kansas City, Kansas, in a tan 1997 Toyota Camry without license plates, police said. The vehicle’s front driver’s side quarter panel is a different color, and there’s discoloration on the driver’s side rear bumper, a different rear passenger wheel and tinted windows.
Police responded to the shooting around 10:45 p.m. Thursday. Witnesses told officers they heard gunshots and found a man and a woman shot inside their home, police said.
Raidel Chavez, 44, was killed. The female victim had non-life-threatening injuries.
The killing, Kansas City’s 156th of the year, eclipsed 2017’s record of 155 homicides, according to statistics tracked by The Star.
