Suspects in Kansas City shooting armed with 9mm handguns: docs

The apparent strangers who allegedly opened fire at each other at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory parade last week were both armed with 9mm handguns, court documents said.

Lyndell Mays, 23, and Dominic Miller, 18, are charged with second-degree murder and two counts of criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon for allegedly firing into the crowd during the Feb. 14 celebration, court documents viewed by The Post said.

Authorities found a Glock 9mm handgun with six live 9mm rounds in a 15-capacity magazine lying “in apparent blood” where Mays fell after being shot nine times, the probable cause statement read.

The firearm was later found to have been reported stolen in Kansas City.

Police also located a black Taurus G3 9mm “in close proximity” to Miller, who was also shot.

The autopsy on Lisa Lopez-Galvan — the shooting’s sole fatality — revealed that she was struck by a .38-caliber bullet, which was determined to have been fired from the Taurus G3, the documents said.

In addition to Lopez-Galvan, 24 people — including several children — sustained gunshot wounds in the afternoon shooting that police believe started as a personal dispute between Mays and another individual.

When Mays was interviewed at the hospital two days after the incident, he claimed that he initially opened fire because he believed his female friend was going to be harmed, the statement noted.

He also admitted that he started shooting even though he was aware that there were children in the crowd.

When investigators asked why he advanced on the group in the first place, Mays responded, “Stupid, man. Just pulled a gun out and started shooting. I shouldn’t have done that. Just being stupid,” according to the docs.

After Mays pulled his gun, several others — including Miller — brought out their own firearms, the documents alleged, citing surveillance footage and witnesses.

When Miller was questioned by police, he admitted that he fired the Taurus G3 only after officers informed him that his actions were caught on camera.

“Miller estimated he fired 4-5 shots and was uncertain if he struck the individual he was shooting at. Miller claimed he did not see anyone else armed at the time of the shooting,” the statement read. 

The two men are not believed to have known each other prior to the shooting.

Both Mays and Miller are being held on $1 million bond, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced Tuesday.

The medical conditions of the suspects are unknown, though Mays’ mother started a GoFundMe stating he is “in the ICU fighting for a recovery from several surgeries.”
