Caution:

Beginning in approximately 2012, FBI Kansas City and the Jackson County Missouri Drug Task Force investigated a group of individuals allegedly responsible for distributing crack cocaine, powder cocaine, marijuana, and methamphetamine in the greater Kansas City metropolitan area. The organization was linked to a Mexican Transnational Criminal Organization. In January of 2015, approximately 14 of the subjects were indicted and most of them were arrested. However, Jeremias Lopez-Lira eluded capture and is believed to be in Santa Cruz, Mexico.

An arrest warrant was issued for Jeremias Lopez-Lira on January 27, 2015, by the United States District Court, Western District of Missouri, after Lopez-Lira was charged federally with money laundering conspiracy and conspiracy to distribute marijuana.
