Family of Kansas City Shooting Suspects Start GoFundMe Pages For Medical Bills: Report
Even suspected shooters can set up GoFundMe pages, unfortunately.
The deranged gunmen suspected of firing gunshots at the Union Station near the Super Bowl Chiefs Parade on Feb. 14 face additional disdain after their respective families set up separate donation pages to help pay for the shooters' medical bills, along with other essentials, as the gunmen recover during "tough times."

On Wednesday, a donation page was set up for the second shooting suspect, 23-year-old Lyndell Mays and a separate GoFundMe page was set up for shooting suspect Dominic Miller, 18, revealed on Thursday. Both donation pages have since been removed; likely after facing backlash for the ridiculous request.
Miller's GoFundMe raised a measly $85 before the donation page disappeared. Miller and Mays were arrested and charged for their involvement in the shooting, which left 22 parade attendees injured, including several children, and killed a mother of two, Lisa Lopez-Galvan.
Police determined that bullets from Miller's handgun killed Lopez-Galvan, a beloved Kansas City radio D.J. The suspects are being held on $1 million bond.
The departed victim's family released a statement on the detainment of the two suspects.
"It is reassuring for our family and the entire community to know that this joint team effort has resulted in the identification of the suspects involved," Lisa Lopez-Galvan's family shared. She leaves behind her two children and husband.

Suspected Union Station Shooter, Lyndell Mays.
Mays' GoFundMe page featured a photo of the suspected shooter recovering at the hospital from nine bullet wounds. Mays' mother, Teneal Burnside, set up the GoFundMe description, which read, "Getting shot multiple times at a time that was [meant] to bring so much joy to so many has [brought] pain and sadness to all that was attending."
Mays reportedly provoked an opposing group at the Chiefs parade and flashed a finger at them in a shooting motion. He and Miller share no prior history, according to the New York Post. Miller allegedly fired four to five gunshots during the altercation.
Miller's mother set up a separate donation page on Classful, according to the Post, which has accrued $0. According to the Classful description, Miller "needs help with a hotel, food, [and] transportation to get back and forth to the hospital."

Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced the charges against Dominic Miller and Lyndell Mays; including second-degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon.
"We seek to hold every shooter accountable for their actions on that day. Every single one. So, while we’re not there yet on every single individual, we’re going to get there."
A total of four suspects have been charged stemming from the tragic Union Station scene. As reported by OutKick's Dan Zaksheske, police separately arrested two juveniles who are now facing gun-related charges, though prosecutors don't believe they played a role in Lopez-Galvan's fatal shooting.
