2 men charged with murder in Kansas City Super Bowl parade shooting
- Dominic Miller and Lyndell Mays have been indicted for second-degree murder over the incident that left one person dead and 22 injured
- The two did not know each other, but were among those who pulled out their guns during an argument that broke out at the celebration, court records say
Two men have been charged with murder in last week’s shooting that killed one person and injured 22 others after the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade, Missouri prosecutors said on Tuesday.
Dominic Miller and Lyndell Mays are charged with second-degree murder and other counts. They have been hospitalised since the shooting, Jackson County prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said during a news conference. Officials declined to answer whether the men were being treated for gunshot wounds or other injuries.
Court records lay out a basic view of how the shooting unfolded.
The men did not know each other before the shooting, according to prosecutors. They were among several people arguing when Mays “pulled his handgun first almost immediately” and several others did the same, Peters Baker said. Police say it was Miller’s gun that fired the shot that killed a woman.
Online court records did not list lawyers who could comment on the men’s behalf. The Missouri State Public Defender’s Office said applications for public defenders for the men had not yet been received by the Kansas City office.
The new charges come after two juveniles were detained last week on gun-related and resisting arrest charges. Authorities said more charges were possible.
