The suspect responsible for the shooting at the community center has a prior conviction for brandishing a firearm. The Chiefs have rallied against this individual.



The Star has decided to publish a booking photo of Lyndell Mays for the first time. 

Mays was taken to the Jackson County Detention Center on Tuesday night after receiving medical treatment at a hospital. 

The reason for delaying the release of Dominic M. Miller's booking photo was also clarified by The Star on Wednesday. 

The Jackson County Prosecutor's Office confirmed that Miller is still in the hospital and has not yet been photographed. 

The decision to use booking mugs in the absence of other images of the adult suspects was carefully considered by The Star. 

According to The Star's policy, booking mugs are only used for the most high-profile crimes.

 One of the individuals charged with murder in connection with the mass shooting at the Chiefs Super Bowl rally had recently completed probation for brandishing a gun at a community center. Court documents reveal that Lyndell Mays, 23, from Raytown, and Dominic M. Miller, 18, from Kansas City, are facing charges of second-degree felony murder for their involvement in the parade shooting that resulted in the death of a woman and injuries to 22 others. 

Both Mays and Miller were among those injured.

 Municipal court documents indicate that Mays had previously been charged with disorderly conduct in April 2021.

 According to a citation from the Belton Police Department, Mays had displayed a black handgun during a dispute while playing basketball at the Belton Community Center, causing people to fear for their safety and evacuate the gym. 

Mays pleaded guilty on February 8, 2022, and was placed on probation for two years. 

On the day of the Chiefs Super Bowl parade, a confrontation occurred at Union Station, where gunfire erupted during the victory rally. 

Witnesses reported that a group of four males approached Mays and questioned him. 

It was revealed that they were not acquainted with each other, as stated in court documents. 

An argument ensued, during which Mays allegedly brandished a gun. 

Shortly after, others, including Miller, also drew their firearms. 

This led to a barrage of gunfire, causing panic among the crowd as they sought cover. 

Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a popular disc jockey and mother of two from Johnson County, was tragically shot and killed.

Twenty-two more individuals were victims of gun violence, according to Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves. 

Shockingly, half of them were minors under the age of 16. 

The following day, two teenagers were arrested and charged with gun-related offenses and resisting arrest. 

On Tuesday, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced murder charges against Mays and Miller. 

Additionally, they were charged with two counts of armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon. 

Baker stated that evidence points to Miller as the shooter responsible for Lopez-Galvan's death. She also hinted at the possibility of further charges being filed. 

During a press conference, Baker emphasized their commitment to holding every shooter accountable for their actions on that fateful day.

 Although they have not yet reached that point with every individual involved, they are determined to do so. 

Mays is scheduled to appear in Jackson County Circuit Court at 1 p.m. on Wednesday.
