According to a report from The New York Post, two adult males, Dominic Miller, 18, and Lyndell Mays, 22, have been charged with second-degree murder and two counts of armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon for the shooting at the Chiefs Super Bowl parade last week.
They are being held on $1 million bond.
“The defendants attended a Super Bowl parade and rally on Feb. 14, 2024, and were armed with firearms,” the Jackson County prosecutor’s office said. “A verbal altercation occurred and gunfire broke out with no regard for thousands of other individuals in the area.”
From The New York Post:
Miller and Mays had “no prior connection” before they encountered one another at the parade on Valentine’s Day, prosecutors confirmed at a press conference, but when a heated argument broke out between the strangers, it quickly escalated.
Mays allegedly drew his weapon first, and “almost immediately” several others, including Miller, brandished their own.
It was Miller’s weapon that fired the bullet that killed 43-year-old Lisa Lopez Gavlan, a mother of two, prosecutors said.
The charges come just days after two teens were slapped with gun and resisting arrest charges.
