Authorities in Kansas City are urging the public to come forward with any information related to a shooting incident that claimed the life of one person and left at least 21 others injured during a Super Bowl victory parade.

The victim has been identified as Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a local DJ known for hosting the "Taste of Tejano" show on community radio station KKFI. In a statement posted on Facebook, the station mourned her loss, describing the shooting as a "senseless act" that has deeply affected both her family and the Kansas City community.

Among the wounded are nine children, all of whom are expected to recover from their injuries, according to police reports.

Details about the shooting remain scarce, with authorities withholding the names and further information about three suspects who were taken into custody shortly after the incident.

The shooting, which occurred during celebrations for the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl victory, has sent shockwaves through the local community and sparked widespread concern about public safety.

Kansas City Police have launched an investigation into the incident, appealing to witnesses and anyone with relevant information to come forward and assist with the inquiry.

The tragic events of the shooting have underscored the urgent need for action to address gun violence and ensure the safety of residents, particularly during large public gatherings and celebrations.

As the investigation unfolds, authorities are working diligently to piece together the circumstances surrounding the shooting and bring those responsible to justice. The incident serves as a sobering reminder of the devastating impact of gun violence on individuals, families, and communities.
