Dominic Miller and Lyndell Mays: Two suspects arrested in Chiefs Super Bowl victory parade mass shooting

KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI: In the Kansas City Chiefs parade mass shooting, the authorities have nabbed two suspects, as per prosecutors.

In the shooting, a paradegoer, Lisa Lopez-Galvan, was fatally shot by a bullet from Miller's gun, and as per reports, 22 people were injured last week.

During the press conference, Baker said, “It appears Mays was in a verbal argument at the parade with someone he had no prior history with.”

"That argument very quickly escalated to Mays pulling out his handgun, and almost immediately, others pulled their firearms including Miller,” he added. 

The prosecutor further shared, “Both men are in the hospital for injuries sustained in the shooting. Both are being held on a $1 million bond."

"We seek to hold every shooter accountable for their actions," Baker said on Tuesday, February 20, referring to the arrest of two juveniles last week on gun-related charges and resisting arrest, reports ABC News.

"The effort and dedicated hours spent to expeditiously investigate this senseless act of violence is extremely commendable," Lopez-Galvan's relatives said in a statement.

"It is reassuring for our family and the entire community to know that this joint team effort has resulted in the identification of the suspects involved," the statement was read during the press conference.

I'm grieving for her family and all the victims and their loved ones.”

Earlier, Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling took up the responsibility to support the young survivors, offering compassion and material assistance as they recover, as per the New York Post.
