On May 24, 2016, a double homicide stunned a quiet Oklahoma City neighborhood. Fourteen-year-old Ricardo Banuelas and his father, Pedro Banuelas Sr., were found with critical gunshot wounds at their home after Ricardo’s older brother, Pedro Jr., returned and discovered them. Pedro Sr. had been shot multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene; Ricardo was taken to a hospital and died shortly after arrival.

The house appeared ransacked, prompting questions about whether robbery was a motive, but investigators have not confirmed that anything was taken. Oklahoma City police conducted an extensive investigation and appealed to the public, yet no suspects or clear motive have been identified and the case has grown cold. A Crime Stoppers reward was offered for information that could lead to an arrest.

Anyone with information about the killings of Pedro Banuelas Sr. and Ricardo Banuelas is asked to come forward.
