Tragic twist in case of Kansas City Chiefs fan wrongly accused in parade shooting
Share this @internewscast.com

A Kansas City Chief’s fan who was wrongly accused of being the gunman at the Super Bowl Parade in 2024 has tragically been found dead. 

Denton Loudermill Jr, 49, was found dead on Friday morning by his family, Attorney Arthur Benson confirmed to Fox4. 

No cause of death is yet known, the outlet reported. 

Another of his attorneys LaRonna Lassiter Saunders said in a statement to Fox 4: ‘It is with great sadness that we share the news of Mr. Loudermill’s passing. 

‘More details will be provided in time, but for now, we ask that you honor the family’s need for privacy as they come together to grieve this tremendous loss.’ 

Loudermill was accused in 2024 of being the shooter at a deadly Chiefs Super Bowl rally on February 14 last year. 

The parade descended into chaos when two teenagers fired into the crowd, injuring 22 and killing one.

However, it was a post on X by Republican Rep. Tim Burchett that falsely identified Loudermill as the shooter.

A picture emerged of Loudermill in handcuffs on the sidewalk, and Burchett’s post labelled him an ‘illegal alien’ followed by accusations across the internet that he was involved in the deadly shooting. 

Loudermill’s lawyer, however, said that his run-in with the police was related to intoxication and not leaving the crime scene. He was released without a citation. 

At the time Loudermill told KMBC: ‘I just want to clear my name, that I had nothing to do with anything.’ 

‘I was just hoping to enjoy myself like everyone else,’ he added. 

But Burchett’s post, Loudermill claimed, resulted in death threats and mental distress like anxiety, agitation and sleep disruption. 

He filed a lawsuit against the Republican rep, seeking $75,000 in damages, but it was dismissed in September by a federal judge. 

It was cited that the case was tossed due to jurisdiction issues. Loudermill, from Olathe, had filed the suit in Kansas, rather than Missouri, where the lawmakers were from, Fox 4 reported. 

His lawsuit claimed that he froze upon hearing the gunfire and stood in the middle of the terrifying eruption of chaos.

Saunders said: 'Mr. Denton had several drinks, but so did a half million other people, including some of the Chiefs players. It's not a crime. It doesn't make you a mass shooter'

He stood in the spot for so long that police had begun to tape off the crime scene, and as he tried to walk away police said he was moving ‘too slow.’ 

Officers placed him in cuffs and sat him on the curb, which is where the photo originated and was further shared online. 

At the time Saunders said: ‘Mr. Denton had several drinks, but so did a half million other people, including some of the Chiefs players. It’s not a crime. It doesn’t make you a mass shooter.’

‘Mr. Denton has received death threats over a lie, over misinformation,’ she said. ‘He didn’t do anything wrong. He did not commit a crime.

‘So please, run, tell that. Get the truth out there. Help us clear his name. Help us save his life.’

Benson told the outlet that despite his passing, litigation will continue on his behalf. 

Saunders statement furthered: ‘While the family takes this time to mourn, we want to make it clear that this is not over. Mr. Loudermill should not have spent his final days burdened with stress and chasing down a lie that went viral due to the careless and heartless actions of a Congressman, Missouri senators, and social media influencers, who couldn’t be bothered to verify the truth before destroying a man’s life.’

 ‘If you thought we were determined before, you haven’t seen anything yet!’

The shooting outside Union Station occurred despite the presence of more than 800 police officers who were in the building and surrounding area, including on top of nearby structures, said Mayor Quinton Lucas.

A mother of two was killed and 22 people were injured by gunfire after shots erupted amid the throng of fans gathered at a rally outside Union Station in a parade through the city. Victims ranged from ages 8 to 47, with half under 16.

The slain woman was identified by radio station KKFI-FM as Lisa Lopez-Galvan, host of ‘Taste of Tejano.’

Lopez-Galvan, whose DJ name was ‘Lisa G,’ was an extrovert and devoted mother from a prominent Latino family in the area, said Rosa Izurieta and Martha Ramirez, two childhood friends who worked with her at a staffing company.

Local Democrat Manny Abarca who was a friend of Lopez-Galvan’s spoke about her impact in an interview with TalkTV’s Jeremy Kyle and Rosie Wright on Talk Today.

‘It’s a tragic situation. I was there with my six-year-old daughter, Camilla and we went from catching confetti to hiding in a bathroom, not knowing what our fate may be. Unfortunately, this is the state of large events like this in America.’
