KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - The family of the woman killed in a shooting at the Chiefs’ Super Bowl rally in February 2024 has filed suit against the city, gun manufacturers and sellers, and several others.
“Each defendant played a part in this tragedy,” the lawsuit says, calling the shooting that killed Lisa Lopez-Galvan and injured 22 others preventable. “So each must be held accountable.”
The lawsuit, filed by Lisa Lopez-Galvan’s surviving husband, Michael, and their children Marc and Adriana, lists Union Station, the City of Kansas City, the Greater Kansas City Sports Commission, O’Neill Events & Marketing, Flyover Event Co., Frontier Justice, The Ammo Box, and R.K. Shows as defendants. It also lists several individuals, including Dominic Miller, Lyndell Mays, Terry Young, Fedo Manning, Ronnel Williams, Chaelyn Groves and three John Does as defendants as well.
In the lawsuit, the family claims straw purchases from Fedo Manning at Frontier Justice and Ronnel Williams at Ammo Box should have been preventable.
“Gun sellers ignored their responsibilities under the law,” the lawsuit claims.

The lawsuit contends that Union Station, Kansas City, the KC Sports Commission, O’Neill and Flyover each “knew or should have known from the many examples of shootings at mass gathering events that there was a high risk of gun violence at the rally.”
“Yet despite their actual and constructive knowledge, the premises owners and event planners ignored their duties to employ adequate safety measures at the rally.”
A spokesperson for the city said Kansas City “does not comment on pending litigation.”
A lack of screening protocols, metal detectors, security barriers and more are listed as examples of negligence from event organizers in the lawsuit. It cites recent history at the 2023 NFL Draft as an example of adequate safety measures being implemented.

The suit claims battery and wrongful death against Miller, Mays, Young and three John Does who fired shots at the rally. A shot from Miller killed Lisa Lopez-Galvan and other shots injured her son, Marc.
A lawsuit filed in early June by families of rally attendees listed several of the same defendants.
