KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Jackson County prosecutor Melesa Johnson on Friday provided an update in the criminal case of an alleged gunman tied to the deadly mass shooting that took place during the Chiefs 2024 Super Bowl Rally.

More charges filed in 2024 Chiefs Super Bowl Rally shooting

Lyndell Mays, of Raytown, and Dominic Miller were initially charged with second degree murder in connection to the death of beloved KKFI radio co-host, Lisa Lopez-Galvan.

Miller and prosecutors ultimately reached a plea deal allowing charges to be downgraded to unlawful use of a weapon in connection with a deadly shooting, citing Missouri's 'Stand Your Ground Law.'

This came about because Miller returned fire at Mays, but it was his bullet that killed Lopez-Galvan.

Friday's update concerned the status of Mays' pending case.

Mays, however, remains charged with murder.

A grand jury has since issued a superseding indictment adding 14 additional counts — seven for second degree assault and seven more for Endangering the Welfare of a Child.

Combined Mays could receive more than 150 years behind bars if convicted of these latest charges.

As previously reported by KSHB, court documents say Mays admitted to being first to draw a gun.

He claimed someone in an opposing group threatened him prompting gunfire.

Mays later called his actions "stupid," stating he "just pulled a gun out and started shooting," adding "I shouldn't have done that. Just being stupid."

In all 24 people were shot during the Valentine's Day 2024 rally, including Lopez-Galvan, a wife and mother of two.

Johnson refused to answer any further questions, suggesting it could impact future court proceedings.

Her office released only this brief comment...

“We remain committed to pursuing justice for every person harmed that day, including Lisa Lopez-Galvan, whose life was taken. All victims and their families are at the center of our work, and we’re committed to holding Mr. Mays accountable.”
