For Immediate Release
July 22, 2024
One of the accused shooters in the Feb. 14, 2024, Super Bowl victory rally at Union Station has been indicted by a Jackson County grand jury on a new Class A felony charge for his role in the incident, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced today.
Lyndell Mays will be arraigned today on the new charge, Causing Catastrophe.* A Jackson County grand jury late last week added the charge, alleging the defendant knowingly caused a catastrophe by releasing a crowd surge or stampede of people that caused serious physical injury to 10 or more people.*
"For those individuals who were at the parade and rally who received injuries that required medical treatment please notify the prosecutor's office at (816) 881-3513," Prosecutor Baker stated.
It's not necessary to report if you've already reported your injuries to the prosecutor's office.
Mays, who remains in custody, is expected to arraigned in August on the new charge.
