(AP) — KANSAS CITY, MO According to court documents revealed on Tuesday, the two individuals accused of murder in the shooting that occurred last week following the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade were strangers who pulled out firearms and started shooting as soon as they got into a fight.

At a press conference, Missouri prosecutors announced that Lyndell Mays of Raytown, Missouri, and Dominic Miller of Kansas City, Missouri, had been charged with several charges of second-degree murder and various firearms offenses in connection with the shooting that claimed one life and injured almost two dozen others.

Probable cause affidavits state that both guys were shot during the altercation. Since then, both have been admitted to hospitals, according to Jackson County prosecutor Jean Peters Baker at a press conference.

According to police affidavits, the argument started when two groups of people got upset because they thought that members in the other group were staring at them. According to authorities, Mays and his companion aggressively approached the other group as captured on surveillance footage.

Despite being surrounded by large crowds of people, including children, Mays was the first person on camera to start shooting, according to one of the affidavits.

According to the affidavit, Mays admitted to investigators that “he hesitated shooting because he knew there were kids there.” He claimed to investigators that he started shooting when he heard someone in the opposing side threaten to murder him with the words “I’m going to get you.” According to the affidavit, he claimed that as the other group member was fleeing, he randomly selected someone to shoot at.

According to one document, Miller first told investigators that he was shot in the rear and that he and his pals had started running after hearing gunfire. Miller acknowledged firing four to five shots when investigators showed him footage of him pursuing someone in Mays’ group and firing, according to the affidavit.

Officials confirmed on Tuesday that Lisa Lopez-Galvan was killed by a gunshot fired by Miller’s gun. Per one of the affidavits, Lopez-Galvan was part of a crowd that was watching the Chiefs rally nearby.

Attorneys who could comment on behalf of the guys were not listed in online court documents. Applications for public defenders for the men had not yet been received by the Kansas City office, according to the Missouri State Public Defender’s Office.

Miller may have a relative, but messages left with them were not immediately responded. The Associated Press was unable to locate Mays’ family members’ phone numbers.

Although the men’s ages were not disclosed by the authorities, Mays is believed to be in his early 20s and Miller is either 18 or 19.
