BELTON, Mo. —
The suspect charged in the deadly shooting following the Chiefs Super
Bowl parade one week ago appeared in court.
Prosecutors on Tuesday charged Lyndell Mays with second-degree murder,
unlawful use of a weapon, and two counts of armed criminal action.
This week is not Lyndell Mays' first brush with the law.
Mays previously had a run-in with the law in 2021 when he also pulled
out a gun after an argument over a basketball game at the Belton
Community Center.
He pleaded guilty to a municipal disorderly conduct charge and spent
five days in jail.
He also received two years of probation, which had ended a week before
last week's parade shooting.
An attorney KMBC talked to on Wednesday said that could have been a much
more serious charge.
"It's in a public building, that's one," said defense attorney Kevin
Jamison. "It could have been felony exhibiting. We call it brandishing
very often."
Jamison called it a failure of the system.
"It got plead down to something lesser than that and the guy got lucky
twice and didn't learn anything anything from the experience," he said.
"Again a failure of the system."
If that charge would have been a felony, it would have prevented Mays
from legally owning a firearm.
Worth noting, however, is the gun Mays is suspected of using was not
obtained legally, according to court records.
