Jake Becchina, Public Information Officer for the Kansas City Police Department, told media Wednesday that authorities assume the remains found belong to 22-year-old Oscar Sanchez-Munoz.

Police had initially searched the home after an hours-long standoff, but a fire and subsequent flooding made a thorough search difficult.
The family later contacted authorities after sifting through rubble and detecting a decomposing odor, leading to the discovery.
Sanchez-Munoz had an outstanding warrant for allegedly shooting at a motor vehicle on June 11 in Wyandotte County, Kansas.
