Missouri’s Kansas City According to family and friends, the guy who was shot and killed at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win
celebration on Wednesday was a well-known radio DJ and prominent member of the city’s Hispanic population.
Lisa Lopez-Galvan was the victim’s name as given by her family.
According to police, at least 22 additional persons were hurt, at least half of them were minors. While a police investigation is ongoing,
the precise circumstances surrounding the shootings are yet unknown.
No one has been charged despite the fact that police have detained two people who they have not publicly identified. According to the
police, there seemed to be a discussion amongst a few people before the shooting occurred.
Lopez-Galvan co-hosted “A Taste of Tejano,” a weekly radio program on nearby KKFI 90.1 that celebrated Tejano, or
She was a mother of two, according to The Kansas City Star.
“It is with sincere sadness and an extremely heavy and broken heart that we let our community know that KKFI DJ Lisa Lopez-Galvan,
host of Taste of Tejano lost her life today in the shooting at the KC Chiefs’ rally,” the station wrote on its Facebook page.
“This senseless act has taken a beautiful person from her family and this KC Community,” said the statement.
A solitary light now appears as the profile picture on the “Taste of Tejano” Facebook page. Tuesday night was her last hosting the
program.
The Star was informed by Lisa Lopez, an unrelated executive administration assistant in the newsroom: “She was the most wonderful,
beautiful person.” She worked as a DJ in the area. She performed all of the marriages.
The Chiefs supporter Lopez-Galvan posted images of red and yellow snacks and clothes on her own Facebook page to express her
excitement for the Super Bowl.
The Kansas City Hispanic News newspaper included a story on Lopez-Galvan and her 79-year-old father, Beto Lopez, a well-known
mariachi performer in the area, in November.
Lopez told the newspaper, “My daughter Lisa enjoys music just as much as I do, except Lisa plays music at the KKFI community radio
station and I play a trumpet with Mariachi groups.”
She also provides DJ services for other events in the city, including fiestas and private parties. Our unique possession is a result of our
shared passion for music.
Christina Nuñez was among the over one hundred individuals who convened at the Skywalk Memorial Plaza on Thursday evening for
a candlelight memorial honoring the victims.
Nuñez mentioned that Lopez-Galvan was the DJ at her wedding and that they had been friends since elementary school.
Nuñez stated that Lopez-Galvan’s heart was big and it showed.
She has been a member of our family for ever. She treated us like family. Additionally, you were her family to know her,” she
remarked.
She had a significant role in the community. In addition to the West Side and Hispanic communities, there is also the Kansas City
community. Nuñez stated, “She was here to do good.” It’s simply very difficult to comprehend. And I’m hoping we can get knowledge
from
In a statement, Chief of Police for Kansas City Stacey Graves announced that the force was “working tirelessly to investigate her
murder.”
Graves remarked, “We know that she is loved by many, but we are still learning about her.”
The 43-year-old Elizabeth Galvan was identified by the department.
On Thursday on NBC’s “TODAY” show, Paul Contreras, a Chiefs fan who was captured on camera pushing a potential suspect in the
shooting to the ground and going viral on social media, claimed that his actions were “just a reaction” after he noticed someone racing
in the opposite direction from where the supporters were going.
The man was placed facedown on the ground and taken into custody, but Contreras claimed he did not get a clear view of him.
Referring to the spate of mass shootings in the United States this year, Contreras’ daughter Alyssa Marsh-Contreras, who was present
at the incident, remarked, “It’s crazy—we’ve had more shootings this year than we’ve had days.”
The Chiefs players reacted in amazement and disbelief after their overtime victory on Sunday that made them the team’s back-to-back
champions.
Security “This 🤬 is SAD man!” exclaimed Justin Reid on X. Someone didn’t return home tonight, and kids are getting shot. This
cannot continue to be the norm. Travis Kelce, the team’s tight end, expressed his “heartbreak,” while the team’s official X account
stated that the events of Wednesday had left them “truly saddened.”
Legislator Manuel Abarca IV of Jackson County, Missouri’s 1st District, offered her respects and promised to do more to alter gun
restrictions.
“I refuse to allow her passing to be in vain. He declared on X that “I will fight, I will legislate, and I WILL do everything in my power to
change this State and City for the better.”
Before boarding a flight to Munich, Germany on Wednesday night, Vice President Kamala Harris shared that sentiment by pleading
with Congress to take action on gun regulation.
“Today was meant to be a day of celebration for a group of individuals to get together… and yet it’s just another day of gun violence in
America,” she remarked. “This isn’t how it has to be.
