KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - A jury trial has now been set for two out of the three men alleged to have played a role in the fatal mass shooting on what was meant to be a day of celebration for Kansas City.

On Thursday, June 13, Missouri District Court records were updated to reflect that a jury trial has officially been set for Lyndell Mays, 23, in connection with the Chiefs rally shooting in front of Union Station.

A case management conference has been set for Aug. 26 with a pre-trial conference to follow on Sept. 5, 2025. Mays’ jury trial has been set to begin at 9 a.m. on Sept. 29, 2025.

Mays has been charged with murder in the second degree, two counts of armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon.

According to the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office, Mays was the first person to pull a firearm at the rally before Dominic Miller, 18, fired the shot that killed Lisa Lopez-Galvan.

In total, three men and three teenagers have been charged in connection with the Feb. 14 shooting. A total of 22 individuals, not including Lopez-Galvan, were injured as a result, many of whom were children.

Miller was indicted on May 6, after nearly 3 months in the hospital, on the same charges. Terry Young, the third alleged shooter, also faces the same charges and is set to stand before a jury at 9 a.m. on March 10, 2025, for his crimes.
