Two adults have now been charged in connection with the Kansas City shooting during the Super Bowl victory celebration that killed one person while wounding numerous others. Dominic M. Miller, 18, and Lyndell Mays, 22, have been charged with murder after a dispute escalated into gunfire near Union Station.

The development comes less than a week after authorities charged two minors in relation to the incident. The incident has sparked a nationwide conversation on gun-related violence.

Two adult men have been charged in connection with last week's deadly shooting that killed one person and wounded 22 others during the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl victory rally, prosecutors said Tuesday.  

Two men face murder and other felony charges in connection with gunfire outside of Union Station last Wednesday. Dominic M. Miller, 18, of Kansas City, and 22-year-old Lyndell Mays of Raytown each face second-degree murder charges, two counts of armed criminal action and the unlawful use of a weapon.

They are each being held on $1 million bail.

"We seek to hold every shooter accountable for their actions on that day. Every single one," Jean Peters Baker, the Jackson County Prosecutor, told reporters at a news briefing.

More people are likely to be charged, Baker said.

Prosecutors believe Mays was in a verbal argument with another person that he had no connection with. The argument quickly escalated and Mays drew a handgun, Baker said.

"Mays pulled his handgun first," she said.

Miller then drew his handgun, authorities said. He is believed to have shot Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a local radio disc jockey and mother of two children, who died from her injuries.

Both men were struck by gunfire and are being treated in local hospitals. They are expected to be taken into police custody once they are cleared for release. The shooting marred what was supposed to have been a celebration of the Chiefs' Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

Among the victims was Lisa Lopez-Galvan, 43, a well-known local DJ and radio host who was attending the event. The tragedy highlights the devastating impact of gun-related violence. On Friday, it was reported that charges were being filed against two minors.

On Friday, authorities announced that charges have now been filed against two individuals.

"Two juveniles were charged on Thursday, February 15, 2024, by the Office of the Juvenile Officer related to the incident at the Chiefs' rally on February 14, 2024," the 16th Judicial Circuit Court of Missouri said in a Friday statement.

"The juveniles are currently detained in secure detention at the Juvenile Detention Center on gun related and resisting arrest charges," the court said.

Per the statement, additional charges may be forthcoming.

Despite the horrific events of that day, the community has shown a remarkable level of resilience. Indeed, when the shooting happened, some of the fans present at the scene tackled the alleged shooters and held them until the authorities arrived. The fast responses of law enforcement and subsequent medical care for the wounded played a key role in ensuring that more lives were not lost. Children’s Mercy Hospital announced that every victim in its care has been released.

Moving forward, this incident could bring about a reevaluation of security measures at public events and has already resulted in another national debate on gun control. However, it is worth noting that the two minors were already barred from owning handguns by federal and state law. As more information about the shooting emerges, perhaps it will give law enforcement insight into how to prevent future such tragedies.
