February 22nd 2024.
On a cold February day, the Kansas City Chiefs fanbase was in a frenzy, celebrating their team's victory at the Super Bowl. Among the crowd was 23-year-old Lyndell Mays, who unfortunately made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Along with a group of other suspects, Mays was arrested for his involvement in a shooting that took place at the event.
The incident sparked outrage and disbelief, especially from Mays' mother, Teneal Burnside. In a desperate effort to help her son, who was now facing serious charges, she set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for his legal fees and medical expenses. She pleaded for support during this "tragic time" for her family.
However, just a week later, the fundraiser was shut down. It seemed that the public was not sympathetic towards Mays' situation, and the page only managed to raise a measly $100 before it was taken down. It was a tough blow for Burnside, who was just trying to do what any mother would for her child.
As the investigation continued, more details about the incident emerged. It was revealed that Mays had been shot himself during the chaos at the Super Bowl celebration. His mother's plea for help with hospital bills suddenly made more sense. According to court documents, Mays was in the ICU, fighting for his life after undergoing multiple surgeries to remove the nine bullets that had entered his body.
But as the truth came out, it became clear that Mays was not just an innocent victim caught in the crossfire. He was charged with second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon in connection with the tragedy. It was a shocking revelation that left many wondering how someone could escalate a harmless celebration into such a violent and deadly event.
In a statement to the police, Mays admitted to pulling out his gun and shooting at another individual, claiming that he felt threatened and was acting in self-defense. However, further investigations found that Mays was the one who initiated the violence, and the other suspects only responded after he started shooting. It was a senseless act that Mays himself later regretted, saying that he was "just being stupid" and should not have taken out his gun.
Unfortunately, the situation only escalated from there. The chaos at the Super Bowl celebration caused a chain reaction, with others in the crowd also pulling out their weapons. Among them was 18-year-old Dominic Miller, who was caught on surveillance video firing the fatal shot that killed radio personality Lisa Lopez-Galvan. Both Mays and Miller were charged and are currently being held on a $1 million bond.
It's a tragic turn of events that has left many questioning how something like this could happen. The once joyful and celebratory atmosphere at the Super Bowl celebration was quickly shattered by senseless violence and loss. As the community mourns the death of Lopez-Galvan and prays for the recovery of those injured, they are also left wondering how to prevent such tragedies from happening again.
