    Authorities in Missouri have now charged two men with murder in a shooting after the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl victory celebration that left one person dead and roughly two dozen others injured.

    The arrests came after police announced Friday that they'd detained two juveniles in the Feb. 14 shooting outside Kansas City's historic Union Station.

    The shooting brought an end to what had been a gleeful celebration of the Chiefs' victory that had drawn an estimated one million people to the city. Police said they believed several people were to blame for the shooting.

    THE INVESTIGATION
    Prosecutors said they charged Dominic Miller and Lyndell Mays with second-degree murder and other counts. Both have been hospitalized with gunshot wounds since the shooting.

    The men, who didn't know each other, were among several people arguing when Mays “pulled his handgun," leading others to do the same, court records show. Online court records do not list attorneys who can comment for the men.

    Authorities also detained two juveniles, charging them with gun-related and resisting arrest charges.

    Officials have said more charges are possible.

    The shooting happened despite the presence of more than 800 police officers.

    Those injured range in age from 8 to 47 years, according to Police Chief Stacey Graves. Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a mother of two and the host of a radio show called “Taste of Tejano,” was killed.

    Jackson County prosecutor Jean Peters Baker promised to "hold every shooter accountable for their actions on that day. Every single one.”

    A JERSEY FOR SHOOTING VICTIM
    Lopez-Galvan was wearing a jersey of Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker at the celebration. On Tuesday, the kicker responded to requests on social media seeking help in obtaining a similar jersey for Lopez-Galvan's family, possibly so she could be laid to rest with the shirt.

    In a statement, Butker said he and his wife were heartbroken by Lopez-Galvan's killing and called for those responsible to “be brought to justice.”

    “Hearing that she was a fan of my outspokenness for our shared Catholic Faith makes this even more personal. I am honored to provide a jersey to the family for her to wear,” Butker said. "While the family is mourning their loss and grappling with their numerous injuries, I will continue to pray for their healing and the repose of Lisa’s soul.”
