Third man charged with murder in shooting at Super Bowl Rally

A third man has been charged with murder in the shooting that erupted during a February rally celebrating Kansas City’s Super Bowl victory, prosecutors said. announced on Thursday.

Nine people have now been charged as part of the investigation into the shootings over the past five weeks, including several people accused of gun violations. Prosecutors said Thursday that the investigation was continuing and additional charges were expected.

Terry J. Young, 20, of Kansas City, Missouri, was charged with second-degree murder and unlawful use of a weapon, as well as two counts of armed criminal action.

The shooting occurred after a Feb. 14 parade through downtown and a rally in front of Union Station, an Amtrak interchange and tourist attraction. As the gathering began to disperse, several groups of people became involved in a confrontation, and as the argument escalated, several people who had brought weapons to the parade shot at each other.

Twenty-five people were shot, including a 43-year-old woman, Elizabeth Galvan, a DJ and radio host who died from her injuries. Many of the people shot were children.

Two Missouri residents, Dominic Miller and Lyndell Mays, have already been charged with murder.

According to charging documents, Mr. Young was identified through video surveillance after the shooting. As the argument unfolded, Mr. Young pulled out a gun, walked up to at least one person and fired several times, authorities said.

He was identified on video by a distinctive backpack, authorities said. The backpack appeared to depict a bear that is half green and half yellow.

It was not immediately clear whether Mr. Young had retained a lawyer.

Two teenagers were charged in February with resisting arrest and “weapons-related” offenses in connection with the shooting, officials said. Earlier this week, one of those teens was indicted on an additional charge of unlawful use of a weapon, a misdemeanor.

On Thursday, juvenile prosecutors said a third teen had been charged in connection with the shooting. The 15-year-old teen was charged a day earlier with unlawful use of a weapon for firing a gun during the rally. The three teens have not yet been publicly identified.

Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said in a statement that the investigation into the shooting was unusually broad and complex.

“We get complicated cases, but this case was a challenge,” she said.

Last week, three men were charged with firearms trafficking and other crimes as part of the investigation.

While many people in Kansas City remain shocked by the shooting at the Super Bowl rally, a St. Patrick’s Day parade took place last weekend as planned. According to some spectators, the turnout was smaller than in previous years.
