Three Missouri men have been hit with federal gun charges in connection to the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade sh00ting.

Fedo Antonia Manning, 22, Ronnel Dewayne Williams, Jr., 21 and Chaelyn Hendrick Groves, 19, have been charged with illegal firearms trafficking and straw purchases of firearms. The sh00ting killed Lisa Lopez-Galvan and wounded two dozen others on February 14 during the celebrations of the team’s Super Bowl win. Court documents said 12 people brandished firearms and at least six people fired weapons at the parade.

‘At least two of the firearms recovered from the scene of the mass sh00ting at Union Station were illegally purchased or trafficked,’ said U.S. Attorney Teresa Moore. Manning is charged with one count each of conspiracy to traffic firearms and engaging in firearm sales without a license, and 10 counts of making a false statement on a federal form. Williams and Groves are charged with making false statements in the acquisition of firearms, and lying to a federal agent.

Federal prosecutors said that one weapon recovered at the rally scene was an Anderson Manufacturing AM-15 .223-caliber pistol, found along a wall with a backpack next to two AR-15-style firearms and a backpack. The firearm was in the ‘fire’ position with 26 rounds in a magazine capable of holding 30 rounds – meaning some rounds may have been fired from it.

The affidavit stated that Manning bought the AM-15 from a gun store in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, a Kansas City suburb, on August 7, 2022. He is accused of illegally trafficking dozens of firearms, including many AM-15s. Also recovered at the scene was a Stag Arms 300-caliber pistol that the complaint said was purchased by Williams during a gun show in November. Prosecutors said Williams bought the gun for Groves, who accompanied him to the show but was too young to legally purchase a gun for himself.

Prosecutors said Manning and Williams also bought firearm receivers, gun parts also known as frames that can be built into complete weapons by adding other, sometimes non-regulated components. The complaint said Manning was the straw buyer of guns later sold to a confidential informant in a separate investigation. The federal charges come three weeks after state authorities charged two other men, Lyndell Mays and Dominic Miller, with second-degree murder and several weapons counts for the sh00tings. Authorities also detained two juveniles last month.

The sh00ting is said to have broken out from a domestic dispute between two groups. Prosecutors said Miller, who was shot in the crossfire, is in the one who fired the fatal shot that killed Lopez-Galvan. Friends of Miller also claim that he was a victim in the sh00ting, saying that he only fired back after Mays attacked their group. Marques Harris claims that Mays ‘stared down’ his 15-year-old friend before pulling his gun and shot him through the jaw.

Mays is accused of firing the first shots in the exchange of gunfire. Although Mays did not fire the shots that killed Lopez-Galvan, Missouri law allows murder charges against anyone involved in a fatal felony. Prosecutors allege Mays confessed to his part in the crime after being shown surveillance footage of him drawing his pistol and firing first. ‘Stupid, man. Just pulled a gun out and started sh00ting. I shouldn’t have done that. Just being stupid,’ the indictment alleged he told police.

Mays and his friends got into an argument with four teenagers after they demanded to know why he was ‘looking at’ them. Footage showed Mays aggressively approach them as his sister tried to hold him back. He then pulled out a pistol and fired at them. Some of the other group drew guns and returned fire as Mays chased after an unarmed teenager while sh00ting at him. Mays was eventually shot and fell down.

He claimed to have only fired his gun twice, but how many times he actually shot was unclear as there were only seven bullets left in a Glock 9mm pistol found where he fell, which can hold 15 rounds.
