Late morning on July 10, 2023, a confrontation in the parking lot of an auto body shop on U.S. 40 Highway in Kansas City, Missouri, ended with the death of 49-year-old mechanic Marcos Antonio Muñoz Benitez. Police were called about 11:30 a.m.; they found Muñoz Benitez unresponsive from multiple gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say 28-year-old Tyrell Young went to the shop to confront Muñoz Benitez over an alleged theft of a television from Young’s Chevrolet Camaro. Surveillance video and witness statements reportedly show Young drawing a concealed firearm, shooting Muñoz Benitez multiple times, then continuing to assault him after he fell, including punching and pistol-whipping. Young was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon, and two counts of armed criminal action. Young told police he acted in self-defense, saying Muñoz Benitez had swung on him, but authorities say the video contradicts that claim.

Marcos Antonio Muñoz Benitez was originally from Mexico and worked as a mechanic in Kansas City. Does anyone have information or saw the parking lot that morning?
