Mays, in a statement to the police, admitted to initiating the violence by pulling his gun first and firing.
One of the two accused in the Kansas City Chief's Super Bowl victory parade shootout incident has said that he was "just being stupid". Dominic Miller, 18, and Lyndell Mays, 23, face charges of second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon after shooting dead one person and wounding 22 others in the aftermath of the American football team's victory in the Super Bowl,.
According to a report, court documents released on Tuesday shed light on the sequence of events that led to the tragic incident. Both Miller and Mays, armed with guns, reportedly engaged in an argument with a group of individuals during the crowded celebration. A female friend of Mays revealed that the confrontation began when the opposing group questioned why Mays was looking at them.
Surveillance footage captured Mays approaching the group in an aggressive manner, pointing his finger at them. As tensions escalated, Mays pulled out his gun and started chasing an unarmed individual, firing shots. This prompted others in the vicinity to draw their weapons, creating a chaotic exchange of gunfire.
