Two juveniles charged in mass shooting at Chiefs' Super Bowl Parade

 Feb. 18, 2024.

Two juveniles were charged on Thursday with crimes related to the mass shooting at the Kansas City Chief's Super Bowl parade that left one woman dead and more than 20 others injured.

The juveniles are being held in Jackson County Juvenile Detention Center on gun-related and resisting arrest charges, according to Associated Press News. Additional charges are anticipated by the Office of the Juvenile Officer as the investigation continues, according to CNN.

The names of the two defendants will likely not be released because of the nature of the juvenile system in Missouri, which is more private than the adult system, according to AP.

Police originally detained three juveniles but determined that one of the three was not involved in the shooting. 

Police reported that the shooting appeared to have started as a dispute between several people, according to The Athletic. The woman who died in the shooting was 43-year-old Elizabeth Galvan, the host of a popular Tejano music radio station in the Kansas City area, according to The New York Times.

All of the victims of the shooting were younger than 47 and half were under age 16, according to The Athletic.
