Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a cherished mother of two and a beloved disc jockey in Kansas City, has died. Lopez-Galvan lost her life in the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade shooting on Wednesday. She was 44 years old.
During a 5:30 p.m. press conference, the police only officially confirmed one fatality. This leaves uncertainty about whether Lopez-Galvan is the mentioned victim or if there is another individual involved.
It has been suggested that Lopez-Galvan was possibly the second deceased victim of the shooting. However, this information remains unverified.
