Two men have been charged with murder for last week’s deadly shooting at the Super Bowl victory parade in Kansas City.
One woman died and 22 other individuals were injured.
The charged men – identified as Dominic Miller and Lyndell Mays – were both shot and wounded during the incident. They have been charged with second-degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon. Mays drew the first handgun, followed by Miller, who is believed to have killed Lisa Lopez Galvan, 43 – though report currently vary.
Both men are being held on a $1m (£792,000) bond. The two were initially taken to a hospital to be treated for their injuries after the shooting. They remain in hospital, where they are recovering.
Court documents released on Tuesday allege that the incident stemmed from a verbal altercation between Mays and four people who asked “what he was looking at”.
Surveillance footage of the shooting shows that Mays approached the other group aggressively and pointed at them “in an angry manner” before drawing his weapon.
He later told police he “hesitated shooting because he knew there were kids there”, but began firing after he heard someone in the rival group say he would “get him”.
Miller initially told police he was trying to flee when he was struck by gunfire, but later recanted when faced with video evidence. He admitted to shooting four or five times.
The investigation into the shooting remains ongoing. Ms Peters Baker said that further charges may follow.
“We seek to hold every shooter accountable for their actions on that day – every single one,” she said. “So while we’re not there yet on every single individual, we’re going to get there.”
