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.
"We think we got him tracked to a house in Missouri. We're still looking into whether he's there and what condition he's in," Blanche said.
Over the weekend, the FBI Kansas City field office announced a $25,000 reward for anyone who can provide information leading to the arrest of Sanchez-Munoz, who is considered "armed and dangerous."
A multi-agency search started last week when investigators say the suspect opened fire on multiple vehicles while driving on I-70 in the city; one person was killed and a few others were injured in those shootings.
"He's out there allegedly just shooting multiple different places and you have somebody dead — and so hopefully, we got him," Blanche said.
When asked about the possibility of the suspect being deceased, a spokesperson for the Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department said to Fox News, "I just spoke with our investigators and they have not received any information that the suspect was located deceased."
Attorney General Blanche says more information is expected to be released on Monday.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
