Accident – Death – Obituary News :
In a press conference held at the Jackson County Courthouse in downtown Kansas City, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced that two adults, Lyndell Mays of Raytown and Dominic M. Miller of Kansas City, have been charged with felony murder in connection to the mass shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory rally last week.
Alongside the felony murder charges, Mays and Miller are also facing two counts of armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon. These charges come as part of the ongoing investigation into the tragic event that claimed the life of one woman and left 39 others injured, with 23 sustaining gunshot wounds.
The shooting took place just before 2 p.m. last Wednesday as hundreds of thousands of Chiefs fans gathered to celebrate the team’s Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers. The sound of gunshots near Union Station caused panic among the crowd, leading to chaos as people sought cover.
Notably, the woman who lost her life in the shooting was identified as Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a mother and popular disc jockey. The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, prompting swift action from law enforcement to bring those responsible to justice.
Teens Previously Charged
Prior to the charges against Mays and Miller, two teenagers were also held accountable for their involvement in the shooting. The teens, whose identities have not been disclosed due to their age, were charged with gun-related offences and resisting arrest. They are currently being detained at the Juvenile Detention Center, with further charges expected as the investigation progresses.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the Office of the Juvenile Officer will oversee the criminal cases brought against the minors involved. Depending on the severity of the charges, there is a possibility of a mandatory certification hearing to determine whether they will be tried as adults, particularly in cases involving serious offences like first-degree assault and murder.
Additional Arrest Made
In a separate development related to the shooting, 36-year-old Jose L. Castillo has been charged with unlawful possession of a firearm. According to a witness statement provided to the police, Castillo was allegedly seen picking up a handgun that had been dropped during a fight between two individuals at the scene.
Castillo, who has a felony conviction from 2016 prohibiting him from possessing a firearm, was apprehended by officers and found in possession of a black Glock 22 handgun. The swift action taken by law enforcement in identifying and apprehending suspects highlights the commitment to ensuring justice is served for the victims and their families.
As the investigation into the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl victory rally shooting continues, authorities are working tirelessly to piece together the events leading up to the tragic incident. The charges laid against the individuals involved signal a step towards accountability and closure for the community affected by the senseless violence that unfolded on that fateful day.
