Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche says the suspect responsible for opening fire near the FIFA World Cup over the weekend in Kansas City, Missouri, may be dead. However, police have yet to confirm the suspect is, in fact, deceased.
In an interview with Fox & Friends host Lawrence Jones, Blanche said he believes 22-year-old Oscar Sanchez-Munoz, who is allegedly tied to a string of highway shootings near Arrowhead Stadium, is deceased.
