Man admits to firing first shots at Chiefs' Super Bowl parade: police

According to Kansas City police officers, Lyndell Mays — one of the adult males charged with murder after last week’s shooting that killed one and injured 22 during the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade — admitted he fired the first shots.

Court documents obtained by TMZ show that Mays admitted to the incident on Feb. 16, two days after a disagreement turned into a mass shooting. One detective documented Mays’ interview at a local hospital, where he was being treated for gunshot wounds. According to the documents, Mays initially told police he didn’t shoot at anyone following the dispute. Mays was then told that police had surveillance video from the incident and “he then changed his story.”

Mays, according to the police, said he was told by the other group “I’m going to get you,” which he interpreted as “I’m going to kill you.” The report then states that Mays recalled firing “maybe two times,” but reportedly hesitated “because he knew there were kids there.” Mays allegedly did not target anyone specifically when firing because “they all could have had guns.”

“When asked why Lyndell Mays advanced on them to begin with, he replied, ‘Stupid, man,’” cops wrote in the documents obtained by TMZ. “‘Just pulled a gun out and started shooting. I shouldn’t have done that. Just being stupid.’”

Dominic Miller, the other man charged in relation to the shooting, initially told police he ran after hearing gunshots. According to the documents, when Miller was confronted about surveillance footage, he admitted to firing his handgun during the altercation.

According to the documents, Miller told them that after he heard gunshots, “he observed a black male with dreads armed with a black handgun shooting at him.”

“Miller stated he returned fire with his own firearm,” cops wrote. “Miller estimated he fired 4-5 shots and was uncertain if he struck the individual he was shooting at.”

Jackson County prosecutor Jean Peters Baker revealed Tuesday that Lisa Lopez-Galvan, the local radio host who died from gunshot wounds during the parade, was fatally shot by a bullet from Miller’s gun.
