Two more suspects charged in Chiefs parade shooting
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Two more suspects have been charged Tuesday in the shooting that followed the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade and rally on Feb. 14.
Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced Dominic M. Miller, of Kansas City, and Lyndell Mays, of Raytown, have both been charged with second-degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon.
Charging documents say Miller and Mays attended the parade and rally last week armed with firearms.
Court records say Mays got in an argument with someone else after the rally. Evidence so far doesn't show any previous contact or prior knowledge between these two people, Peters Baker said.
The argument escalated quickly, she said, and Mays allegedly pulled out a handgun. Almost immediately, prosecutors say others, including Miller, pulled out guns and started shooting.
Peters Baker declined to comment Tuesday on how many shooters in all were involved but said they're determined to hold every shooter accountable.
While both these men are accused in the shooting, prosecutors say it was Miller that shot and killed Lisa Lopez-Galvan.
Miller and Mays were both injured in the shooting, according to court records, and first responders took them to local hospitals.
They are both still hospitalized as of Tuesday, the prosecutor said, but are considered in custody. Both suspects are being held on a $1 million bond.
These two suspects are adults, Peters Baker said Tuesday. Their charges come a few days after two minors were charged in family court on gun-related and resisting arrest charges. They haven't been identified yet because they haven't been certified to stand trial as adults.
A total of 23 people were shot, and half were under the age of 16. One woman, Lopez-Galvan, died from her injuries.
Over the weekend, Children's Mercy said it released all patients it treated in the aftermath of the shooting.
Additionally, Patrick and Brittany Mahomes visited some of the kids who were recovering from the shooting, and Taylor Swift donated $100,000 to the GoFundMe set up for Lopez-Galvan's family.
There's also been an outpouring of community support, with thousands donated to the #KCStrong Fund to help the victims.
