Taylor Swift made generous donations of $100,000 to support the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, who tragically lost her life in the shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl victory parade. Swift's contributions, confirmed by her representative and verified by reputable sources, were made through a GoFundMe page. The heartfelt messages accompanying the donations expressed Swift's deepest sympathies and condolences for the devastating loss. Additionally, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce's foundation, Eighty-Seven & Running, also donated $100,000 to a separate GoFundMe page, established to assist the Reyes family, whose young daughters were injured in the same incident.
Authorities announced on Friday that two juveniles have been charged with crimes related to the shooting incident. The Jackson County Family Court released a statement stating that the juveniles are currently being held at the county's Juvenile Detention Center on charges related to guns and resisting arrest. The statement also mentioned that additional charges are expected as the investigation by the Kansas City Police Department continues.
The shooting occurred during the celebration of the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl victory at Union Station. Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a 43-year-old woman, was shot while attending the event with her husband, adult son, and numerous fans. Lopez-Galvan, known as Lisa G, was a beloved figure in the community and hosted a radio show called "Taste of Tejano" on local station KKFI-FM. She was deeply rooted in Kansas City and was one of the few Latina DJs in the area.
A GoFundMe page was set up to support Lopez-Galvan's family, with the description highlighting her role as a remarkable mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. As of Friday morning, the fundraiser had gathered over $200,000 in donations.
