Two more people, including a 15-year-old boy, have been charged in connection with the deadly shooting that broke out in a crowd of roughly one million people gathered last month to celebrate the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl victory, Missouri prosecutors announced Thursday.
The teenager was charged with unlawful use of a weapon and armed criminal action and is detained at the Juvenile Detention Center, the Office of the Juvenile Officer in Missouri judicial court’s family court division said. A certification hearing will be held to determine whether the teen should stand trial as an adult.
One man, 20-year-old Terry Young, was charged on Thursday with second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon and two counts of armed criminal action, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced.
She noted that everyone who fired shots that has been identified has been taken into custody, but additional charges are expected. Officials have previously said 12 people brandished firearms in the shooting and at least six of them fired shots.
The Super Bowl parade shooting is also the intense focus of federal officials who are trying to track every gun fired during the shooting fracas. Federal authorities said several guns were found on the ground after the shooting, and three men have been charged with federal firearms counts in connection to illegal guns used in the shooting.
