Two Arrested and Charged with Murder in Kansas City Parade Shooting

Missouri prosecutors announced on Tuesday that two adult males have been⁤ arrested and charged with murder in connection to last week’s tragic Kansas City parade shooting. The incident resulted in the death of one person and left 22 others injured.

The suspects, whose names will not be disclosed in accordance with Daily Wire policy, are facing charges of second-degree murder, armed criminal ⁣action, and unlawful use of a weapon. Jackson⁢ County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker confirmed‍ that 43-year-old Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a mother, was fatally shot‍ by one of the charged individuals. ⁣This development follows‌ the arrest of two juveniles last week on gun-related and resisting arrest‌ charges.

According to Baker, the shooting unfolded from a “verbal argument” during the parade, which quickly escalated as⁣ multiple individuals ⁣brandished⁢ firearms. The male suspects are currently hospitalized due to injuries sustained in the‌ incident and are being held on a $1 million bond.

The first defendant was charged on Saturday, while the second was charged on Monday night. The court unsealed both of their charges on Tuesday. The prosecutor did not‍ provide any ⁤information regarding a potential connection between the adult suspects and the juveniles involved⁤ in the shooting, as the latter remain unidentified.

Kansas ⁢City Police Chief Stacey Graves emphasized that the ⁣initial investigation found no⁤ links to terrorism or homegrown violent extremism. Instead, the incident appeared to ⁣be a dispute among⁤ several individuals that tragically escalated into gunfire.
