On the late afternoon of August 17, 2022, police responding to a shooting call around 5 p.m. found brothers Oswaldo Saucedo-Chavira, 25, and his older brother Carlos J. Chavira dead from fatal gunshot wounds at a home in the 1500 block of Haskell Avenue in Kansas City, Kansas. Oswaldo had recently arrived from Zacatecas, Mexico, hoping to build a better future for the wife and three young children he left behind; Carlos had lived in the area since 2008 and balanced work and studies to support his family.

Their deaths were recorded as the 26th and 27th homicides in Kansas City, Kansas, for 2022. The Kansas City, Kansas Police Department’s major case unit is handling the investigation; no suspect information or arrests had been released and authorities asked the public to contact the anonymous TIPS Hotline with information. A GoFundMe was started to help transport the brothers’ bodies back to Mexico for burial.

If anyone knew the brothers, their routines, or observed anything near Haskell Avenue that afternoon, please share information with the police.
