“Armed and dangerous”: Police say 1 of 2 men charged with first-degree murder for allegedly opening fire inside a Kansas bar, killing 4 and wounding 5 others, remains at large. The other has been arrested.
This undated photo provided by the Kansas City Kansas Police Department shows Hugo Villanueva-Morales. Villanueva-Morales, one of the two men accused of opening fire inside a Kansas bar early Sunday, Oct. 6, 2019, remains at large, while the other man Javier Alatorre, was arrested Sunday afternoon, police said. Villanueva-Morales and Alatorre were each charged with four counts of first-degree murder, police in Kansas City, Kansas, said in an early Monday, Oct. 7 release.
Bartender Jose Valdez told The Kansas City Star that he had refused to serve one of the suspects on Saturday night because the man had previously caused problems at the bar. Valdez said the man threw a cup at him and left, but returned later with another man shortly before closing time. “I don’t know what to make of it. A sad day for everybody who lost their lives and their families,” he said, choking up. “How can you go into a place full of people and just start shooting?”
Villanueva-Morales and Alatorre each faced criminal charges in Missouri, and Alatorre’s criminal record also included previous convictions, according to online court records in Missouri and online Department of Corrections records in Kansas.
