Third suspect Terry Young charged with murder in Kansas City parade shooting that left beloved local DJ dead

  • Terry Young, 20, faces second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon and two counts of armed criminal action

A third man was charged with manslaughter Thursday in connection with the shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl rally that left a woman dead and nearly two dozen others injured.

Terry Young, 20, faces second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon and two counts of armed criminal action, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said in a statement.

The Feb. 14 incident near the city’s signature Union Station occurred as large numbers of fans had gathered to celebrate the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

Local radio personality Elizabeth Lopez-Galvan, 43, was killed while 25 people, including nine children, were injured in the bloodshed that followed a parade and rally.

The Feb. 14 incident near the city’s landmark Union Station occurred as large numbers of fans had gathered to celebrate the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

“The victims were shot after the suspect and other individuals fired weapons in response to a verbal altercation,” Baker said.

An attorney for Young was not listed in online court records.

Six days after the bloodshed, Dominic Miller, 18, of Kansas City, and Lyndell Mays, 23, of suburban Raytown, were charged with first-degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action and one count of unlawful use of a weapon.

Two teenagers were also charged in family court as juveniles with firearms offenses and resisting arrest. Prosecutors have said they would seek to charge the two minors as adults as well, and that the investigation was continuing.

An account of the shooting compiled from witnesses and video footage showed that the violence began when Mays and a group of individuals who confronted him “began arguing about why they were staring at each other,” police said in an affidavit.

Although all three men are charged with murder, Baker said the evidence shows it was a bullet fired from Miller’s gun that struck and killed Lopez-Galvan.

A manslaughter conviction in Missouri is punishable by a prison sentence of 10 to 30 years or life in prison.
