The mother of a man charged with murder over the Kansas City Super Bowl parade shooting set has up a GoFundMe for him – as his sister insists he’s not a monster.
Teneal Burnside set up the cash appeal for her alleged killer son Lyndell Mays, 23, complete with a photo of him seriously-ill in his hospital bed.
He was among those shot at the celebration on February 14 – and was blasted nine times. Prosecutors now say Mays was one of the two men to blame for the horrific bloodbath, although his unnamed sister insists he was just trying to protect her.
They’ve charged Mays over claims he pulled his gun first during an argument which turned deadly and that he too fired shots during the ensuing carnage, which prosecutors say injured 25.
Those allegations were refuted by his sister, who told DailyMail.com that Mays was ‘innocent’ and ‘protecting her.’
The sibling, who asked to remain anonymous, said: ‘For them to make my brother out to be a monster, it really hurts me inside because he was only trying to protect us.
‘He doesn’t deserve to be thrown in it like that. My brother is tall and broad, he’s hefty. They were young kids and little guys, trying to prove a point.
‘They had been looking at him, and they approached us, they walked closer they had been staring at him. We can see that they have guns in their pockets.
‘We never walked up to them, they walked up to us.’
‘One boy I asked how old he was, and he said he was 15. I tried to say we’re here to celebrate, we’re not here to fight or start violence.
Mays has also been charged with armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon following the shooting on Valentine’s Day at the Super Bowl LVIII.
His sister added: ‘They had been looking at him, and they approached us, they walked closer they had been staring at him. We can see that they have guns in their pockets.
‘We never walked up to them, they walked up to us. One boy I asked how old he was, and he said he was 15. I tried to say we’re here to celebrate, we’re not here to fight or start violence.’
At least 30 people were injured in the shooting, which saw one person killed and 25 suffering gunshot wounds. Police confirmed those injured range in age from eight to 47, half of them under the age of 16.
Investigators say that Mays pulled his weapon but did not fire first, with his sister claiming that she tried to get her brother to leave.
She added that the ringleader of the group said ‘you better get him’ to his friends, before she tried to calm the situation.
‘I turned around and I heard the gunshots, and it was in slow motion,’ she told DailyMail.com.
‘Everything was happening and I was trying to get out of harm’s way but I do see my brother shooting back.
‘The bullets were flying at him, he wasn’t shooting at them he was just shooting. I see him fall to the ground. There was a nurse who helped us, and saved his life.’
Police have confirmed that May’s gun was not the weapon which killed DJ Lisa Lopez-Galvan, but say he pulled out his firearm first.
