Prosecutor says 2 charged for Kansas City rally mass shooting

2024-02-21

[GEO.TV] Some days after the fatal mass shooting that killed one during Kansas City Chiefs’ rally celebration, two people have been charged for their conduct in the deadly gun violence Tuesday, according to Jackson County prosecutor.

Two males Lyndell Mays, of Raytown, and Dominic M. Miller, of Kansas City, are facing the charges of illegal use of a weapon, second-degree murder, and two counts of criminal action involving arms Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker’s office said.

They are in jug on a $1 million bond.

Investigators revealed that Mays was verbally arguing with a person which turned into a shooting as he pulled his firearm. Others including Miller also did the same and started mass shooting during the Kansas City Chiefs’ rally.

They were unaware of each other before that day, according to the prosecutor Baker, who also noted that the defendants were hospitalized and in jug since the shooting.

Miller’s handgun was the one that caused the killing of Lisa Lopez-Galvan — the mother of a local DJ host. However,
a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth...
murder charges are being faced by the two.

Separately, two other teenagers are facing the charges of resisting arrest and they are held in a Juvenile Detention Center, noted Baker. She also hinted toward further arrests.

The prosecutor’s announcement was a week after the mass shooting claimed the life of Lopez-Galvan, injuring over 20 others, including children.

"We seek to hold every shooter accountable for their actions," Baker said.

The Gun Violence Archive revealed that this was the 48th mass shooting of this year in the US.

A mass shooting is an incident in which at least four are shot except the shooter.

Kansas Governor Laura Kelly ordered flags to be flown at half-staff Saturday in remembrance of Lopez-Galvan.

This shooting was the second during this year’s major sports title celebrations since June in which two people were maimed as Denver supporters left a parade for the NBA’s Nuggets.

#10 Seems like the teenagers being held for resisting are being shuffled to the side out of view. The chances of the not having shot guns seems small to me. That question would be asked by real journalists. No or no comment would be the answer which would clear things up.

#5 Laura 'Catlady' Kelly wishes she could hair gel like French Newsome.

So who was it they drew on? Media all focusing on teenage Black shooters is unusual.

#4 There is KCK, and KCMO. Raytown is MO. Kelley is a hack. Its quite likely the whole incident was livestreamed on account of the occasion and people being phones out already, and the mouse got out before the censors closed the door, and its a high profile international embarrassment - aussies wearing Chiefs jerseys to Swift concert as support and all that.

#3 ..and its Kansas City, Missouri.

If the defendant is facing voluntary manslaughter, this is second-degree murder, a Class B felony. The sentence will be between 5 and 15 years in prison. They choose the right side of the river to do it.

#2 It's difficult to show that a bystander killed by a shooter's actions was "premeditated." Yes, what did they expect to happen when they shot into a crowd with weapons they consciously chose in advance to bring to the event? But it's impossible to say they intended in advance to kill that woman they didn't even know.

I guess Real & Living Kansas Voters are fed-up and must have really caused a Political $hit storm, for the PC playing liberal DA to finally do something.

But only 2nd degree murder?
Sentencing for second degree murder in Kansas is just a sentence of 10 to 25 years.
