Terry J. Young, a 20-year-old male from Kansas City, was recently charged with murder, becoming the third adult to face such charges in connection with the terrible mass shooting that occurred during the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory rally last month.
On Thursday, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced the accusations against Young.
He is now charged with second-degree felony murder, unlawful use of a firearm, and armed criminal conduct.
The notice also included charges against a 15-year-old who could be tried as an adult.
A shooting happened at Union Station, resulting in the injuries of at least 25 people, half of them were minors.
Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a 43-year-old mother of two and local radio DJ, was one of those affected by the incident, and she tragically died.
A statement from prosecutors, the shooting occurred as a result of a disagreement during the festivities outside Union Station on February 14th.
Based on the CCTV footage, Young was seen brandishing a pistol and firing multiple bullets at members of another group before hurriedly leaving the scene.
Felony Murder and Weapon Charges for Suspects
Investigators successfully identified Young by noting specific details, such as a distinctive backpack that was visible in various videos on social media.
Suspects Charges Felony Murder and Unlawful Use of Weapon
Young’s arrest comes after the charging of Lyndell Mays, 23, and Dominic Miller, 18, who were previously charged with second-degree felony murder and unlawful use of a weapon.
Prosecutors claim that Mays was responsible for the gunfire that killed Lopez-Galvan.
Based on Missouri law, individuals who participate in a dangerous offense that results in a fatality can be held liable, regardless of whether they physically carried out the conduct.
The fresh accusations filed against Young demonstrate the authorities’ commitment to holding everyone involved in the violent incident accountable.
Young’s arrest provides a much-needed sense of closure for a community still reeling from the horrific events of that day.
All those engaged in the shooting incident have been apprehended, but the investigation continues, and additional charges may be made.
