Two adults charged with Kansas City parade shooting – but prosecutors STILL won’t name juvenile gunmen already in custody

Two adults have been charged with manslaughter following the shooting during the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade last week.

Lyndell Mays, 22 or 23 years old, and Dominic Miller, 18 or 19 years old, face charges including second-degree murder, armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon.

These two individuals are not the two juveniles charged last week with gun-related crimes and resisting arrest.

Prosecutors allege Mays pulled his gun first during an argument that led to others drawing firearms, including Miller.

At a news conference Tuesday, prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said Miller is believed to have fired the shot that killed local DJ Lisa Lopez-Galvan.

Baker also said at the news conference that the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office was “not done yet” and that a number of other suspects involved in the shooting are still being sought.

The two men were hospitalized with injuries after the shooting and remain hospitalized as of Tuesday, Peters Baker said.

If found guilty, the two face life behind bars and will be held on a $1,000,000 bond.

The 22 injured range in age from eight to 47, according to Police Chief Stacey Graves. Half of them are younger than 16 years old.

Police initially arrested three juveniles but released one, whom they determined was not involved in the shooting.

Images circulating on social media show at least five people taken into custody following the shooting.

As investigators continue to investigate the case, bullets and shell casings left at the scene have become key pieces of evidence.

ATF specialists are working to connect suspects’ firearms to the debris left at the scene, a law enforcement source said. CNN.

Amid claims that one of the gunmen had lined up in a circle to target as many people as possible with bullets, bullets found in the area have also been taken for analysis.

The bullets left in the more than two dozen victims would ideally be matched to specific firearms taken from suspects to determine which weapon was responsible for each victim.

Because gun shell casings leave a unique mark, similar to fingerprints, the analysis can also determine whether the weapons were used in other crimes in the Kansas City area.

It comes after several witnesses gave harrowing accounts of the moment the family event descended into chaos.

Witnesses described a horrifying scene of victims being shot and people trampled in the chaos.

More than a million people were expected to gather in Kansas City for the celebration, adding to the hectic scenes as the huge crowds formed a stampede to safety.

Rick Reichmeier told KCTV that he was separated from his family when the shooting began before witnessing the grisly moment after a woman was shot.

“When I got up there was a lady there, probably about 25 feet away from me, and there was blood coming out of her mouth as they were pumping her chest,” he said.

“I was walking away and I heard a few shots, a few bangs, bangs, bangs, people started running and I ran. Then suddenly people hit the ground, I hit the ground, people fall on top of me.’

Another witness who suffered a gunshot wound to his ankle, Jacob Gooch Jr., claimed a woman begged the gunman “don’t do it” seconds before he spun around in circles to pepper as many people as possible with bullets.

Gooch Jr., who was shot along with his wife and son in the chaos, told CBS Mornings that he heard a young woman tell the gunman, “Not here, this is stupid.”

“My wife and daughter saw the gun come out and started shooting,” he said. “My daughter said a lady stopped him… then he pulled (the gun) out and started shooting and going around in a circle.”

Gooch said he did not see the shooter in person, but was a short distance away as he recalled initially thinking the gunshots were fireworks.

He said he was shot in the ankle, his wife was shot through the calf muscle and his son suffered a gunshot wound to his foot, but fortunately his family was OK other than the wounds and was released from the hospital had returned home.

Tributes have been paid to the mother-of-two who died during emergency surgery in hospital after suffering a gunshot wound to the abdomen.

Her devastated family said on Friday: ‘We are heartbroken by the loss of our loved one… We ask that you please keep our family in your prayers as we mourn the loss of Lisa’s death, while also supporting our other loved ones who have been affected by Lisa’s death. this senseless act.”

Local Democrat Manny Abarca, a friend of Lopez-Galvan, spoke about her impact in an interview with TalkTV’s Jeremy Kyle and Rosie Wright on Talk Today.

‘It’s a tragic situation. I was there with my six-year-old daughter Camilla and we went from catching confetti to hiding in a bathroom, not knowing what our fate might be. Unfortunately, this is the situation at major events like this in America.

“We need to be on the lookout for people with guns that are easily accessible, and especially accessible in states like Missouri.”
