Nineteen-year-old Cristian Escutia was abducted from his Old Northeast neighborhood home in Kansas City on April 3, 2017, after answering what was presented as a marijuana deal. Three men arrived in a light-blue Chrysler Pacifica; witnesses saw Escutia forced at gunpoint into the vehicle and surveillance captured parts of the abduction. A caller who reached one suspect’s phone during the incident said they heard a struggle and someone yell Get your head down!. The kidnappers drove across state lines into Kansas City, Kansas, to the 200 block of Donovan Avenue, where Escutia was forced from the vehicle, shot multiple times, and left in the street.

Investigators quickly identified Jonathan M. Bravo-Lopez, Juan D. Osorio, and Marco A. Sosa-Perea as suspects. Osorio was arrested on April 7, 2017, the same day Escutia’s body was identified. Authorities described the abduction as part of a plan to rob Escutia. If anyone has information about Cristian, the vehicle used, or the events that night, please share what is known.
