On a tragic day in May of 2016, a home in Oklahoma City became the scene of a devastating and unsolved crime. Inside, Pedro Banuelas and his 14-year-old son, Ricardo, were found shot. The grim discovery was made by Pedro's other son, Pedro Jr., when he returned to the family residence on May 24th.
Upon his arrival, Pedro Jr. was confronted with a horrifying sight. His father, Pedro Banuelas, had been shot multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene.
His younger brother, Ricardo, was still alive but critically injured. The teenager was rushed to a nearby hospital, but tragically, he succumbed to his injuries shortly after arrival. The male victims' home appeared to have been ransacked, though it remains unclear if anything of value was taken.
In the years following the double homicide, the Oklahoma City police have continued their investigation. However, the case has grown cold, with no suspects publicly identified and no clear motive established for the violent attack on the father and son. Law enforcement officials have appealed to the public for any information that might lead to a breakthrough in the case. A reward has been offered through Crime Stoppers for any tip that leads to an arrest, as the family and community continue to await answers and justice for Pedro and Ricardo Banuelas.
