A third man, Terry J. Young, has been charged with murder in connection with the shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory parade in February. The shooting resulted in the death of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a popular local radio DJ and community organizer, and injured at least 25 other fans. Young faces charges of 2nd degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon, and two counts of armed criminal action. The incident occurred outside Union Station in Kansas City after an argument escalated, as shown in surveillance camera footage. Investigators found social media posts and cellphone data linking Young to the shooting, leading to a request for a $1 million cash bond.
