Christian J. Olivarez was 20 when he was found shot to death on the evening of December 30, 2018, in the front yard of a residence in the 7500 block of Oakland Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. Police were called for reports of gunfire and discovered him with multiple gunshot wounds; his vehicle was later found riddled with bullet holes.

Reports say Olivarez had moved to the Kansas City area from Kokomo, Indiana, in 2012. He was remembered by family as an avid athlete who loved video games and enjoyed making people laugh. Investigators believe he arrived in a white Ford Explorer and was approached by two unknown individuals. A green bank bag with a white Central Bank logo that he kept under his driver’s seat was missing and is believed to have been taken, suggesting robbery as a possible motive.

No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. Does anyone who lived or worked near Oakland Avenue that night have information that could help solve this case?
