Two men have been charged with murder in connection with a fatal shooting following the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory parade.<\/p>\n

A woman was killed and 22 other people were injured in the 14 February shooting, in Kansas City, Missouri<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Dominic Miller and Lyndell Mays have been charged with second-degree murder and other gun-related counts. Both men have been in hospital since the shooting, according to prosecutors.<\/p>\n

The charges come after two juveniles were arrested last week on gun-related and resisting arrest charges.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said the charges against the two men are in addition to the arrest of the juveniles, and that more charges are possible.<\/p>\n

“I do want you to understand – we seek to hold every shooter accountable for their actions on that day – every single one,” Jackson County prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said in a news conference on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“So while we’re not there yet on every single individual, we’re going to get there.”<\/p>\n

Police have said a dispute among several people led to the shooting.<\/p>\n

It took place following a parade near the city’s landmark Union Station, where many thousands of fans had gathered as the Kansas City Chiefs celebrated their Super Bowl triumph over the San Francisco 49ers.<\/p>\n

In a statement announcing the charges, the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office said: “According to court records, the defendants attended a Super Bowl parade and rally on 14 February and were armed with firearms.<\/p>\n

“A verbal altercation occurred and gunfire broke out with no regard for thousands of other individuals in the area.”<\/p>\n

At a press conference, a spokesperson said the police’s investigation showed the violence began when Mays became involved in a verbal argument with another person – who was a stranger to him.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson told reporters their row “very quickly escalated,” with Mays pulling out a pistol, followed by others in the vicinity “almost immediately” drawing their weapons.<\/p>\n

While both Mays and Miller are charged with murder, Baker said the evidence shows it was gunfire from Miller’s weapon that struck and killed Elizabeth Lopez-Galvan – a 43-year-old radio presenter and mother-of-two.<\/p>\n

Twenty-two other people, including at least nine children, the youngest of which was eight years old, were wounded, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Following the shooting, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce donated $100,000 (\u00a379,000)<\/strong> to two surviving victims.<\/p>\n

His Eighty-Seven and Running foundation made two $50,000 (\u00a340,000) donations to a GoFundMe raising money to provide financial support to two sisters injured during the shooting.<\/p>\n

As well as Kelce’s donation, the sisters, aged 8 and 10, also received a visit from the team’s star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, and his wife, Brittany.<\/p>\n

Kelce’s girlfriend, the pop superstar Taylor Swift, who was at the Super Bowl<\/strong> but did not attend the victory parade, also donated $100,000 (\u00a379,000) to the family of the woman killed<\/strong> in the shooting.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
