Jackson County Prosecutor Melesa Johnson announced Friday morning that Lyndell Mays, one of the individuals charged in connection with the deadly shooting at the Chiefs Super Bowl victory parade rally, is facing a new slate of charges.

Lyndell Mays is accused of being involved in a shooting after the Chiefs' Super Bowl victory parade on Feb. 14, 2024. Lisa Lopez-Galvan was killed in the shooting and nearly two dozen others were shot.

Mays was initially indicted on five charges: second-degree felony murder, causing catastrophe, unlawful use of a weapon and two counts of armed criminal action.

He was allegedly the first person to pull out a firearm. He was scheduled to go to trial in March 2027.

Johnson announced Friday morning that a grand jury has indicted Mays on 14 additional charges.

“The law allows us to seek accountability for the serious physical injuries suffered by seven adults and seven children who were hurt after Mr. Mays allegedly opened fire into a crowd," Johnson said in a Friday morning news conference.

A superseding indictment just filed keeps his original charges and adds seven counts of second-degree assault and seven counts of first-degree endangering the welfare of a child.

Johnson said the child endangerment counts are Class B felony charges which carry between five to 14 years in prison each. The second-degree assault counts are Class D felony charges each carrying the possibility of up to seven years in prison.

Mays is still scheduled to go to trial on March 29, 2027.

Mays wasn't the only person charged initially in connection with the Chiefs rally shooting.

Dominic Miller, who reportedly fired the fatal shot, was initially charged with second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon and two counts of armed criminal action. He pleaded guilty to unlawful use of a weapon in March 2026 and was sentenced to two years.

Similarly, Terry Young was also charged with second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon and two counts of armed criminal action. He pleaded guilty in April 2026 to a weapons offense and was sentenced to two years in prison.
