Mother begs for donations to help gunman charged with Kansas City parade shooting
The mother of a man charged for his alleged role in the Kansas City parade shooting has asked for donations to go towards his hospital treatment.
Teneal Burnside, the mother of 23-year-old Lyndell Mays, launched a GoFundMe page in aid of her son. She shared a photo of Mays in the hospital bed with a tube in his mouth.

Mays, who was wounded during the melee and taken to hospital for treatment, has been charged with second-degree murder along with Dominic Miller, 18. He was interviewed by police from his hospital bed.
While donations have been made to the victims of the attack, Mays‘ mother has pleaded with donations to be sent for her son.
“I ask to all please help by donating to help him with his medical bills during this tragic time he is going through,” she wrote.
“He’s in ICU fighting for a recovery from several surgeries, from going to the Chiefs Super Bowl celebration parade with his older sister to getting shot multiple times a time that was meant to bring so much joy to many has brought so much pain and sadness to all that was attending.”
She added, “I give special thanks to Chrissy [redacted] a nurse that helped my daughter give CPR and chest palpitations at the parade to him along with St. Luke’s trauma nurses.”
Teneal ended, “I give thanks to all whos [sic] helping him along his long recovery. God bless everyone who has been affected by this sad ordeal.”
Lyndell Mays’ family put up strong defense
A screenshot of the GoFundMe showed it had received $100 before the campaign was removed.
It is unclear whether Ms Burnside is aware that her son is accused of starting the events that led to the death of one woman and 22 people being injured, including 12 children.
Lisa Lopez-Gavlan, a 43-year-old local radio DJ and mother-of-two, tragically passed away after receiving a gunshot wound. Miller has been accused of gunning down Lopez-Gavlan by prosecutors, and Mays‘ sister told the Daily Mail her brother was “innocent” as he was defending her during the chaos.
“For them to make my brother out to be a monster, it really hurts me inside because he was only trying to protect us,” she said.
“He doesn’t deserve to be thrown in it like that. My brother is tall and broad, he’s hefty. They were young kids and little guys, trying to prove a point.”
His bail has been set at $1million and he remains under watch at a hospital while he recovers.
Gage Workman came off the bench and hit his first major league homer, a two-run shot that sent the Detroit Tigers past the Kansas City Royals 6-3 on Sunday night to snap a five-game losing streak.
Matt Vierling had a two-run double and Riley Greene reached safely four times as the Tigers prevented a three-game sweep.
Called up hours earlier from Triple-A Toledo when Kerry Carpenter was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder sprain, Workman entered as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning.
Workman drove a 1-1 slider from Nick Mears (2-2) to right field to give Detroit a 5-3 lead.
Wenceel Pérez added an RBI single in the seventh.
Enmanuel De Jesus (2-0), the fourth of six Tigers pitchers, retired all seven batters he faced. Kenley Jansen struck out two in a perfect ninth for his 483rd career save and seventh this season.
Kansas City lost for only the third time in 10 games.
Hao-Yu Lee’s two-out RBI triple off the outstretched glove of Royals right fielder Jac Caglianone opened the scoring in the second. Zack Short walked and Vierling delivered a two-run double off the left-field wall to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead.
In the third, Kansas City greeted reliever Drew Anderson with three straight hits, scoring their first run on a hit-and-run, opposite-field single by Vinnie Pasquantino, and another on Carter Jensen’s sacrifice fly.
In the fourth, Caglianone doubled to left-center and scored the tying run on Maikel Garcia’s third hit, a two-out single to center.
Royals starter Noah Cameron exited after allowing a leadoff hit in the fifth on his 95th pitch. He allowed three runs and five hits with three walks and four strikeouts.
The top three Kansas City batters combined for seven of the team’s eight hits.
Greene has reached base safely in a career-best 21 consecutive games. In 27 games since April 11, he is batting .384 with 13 extra-base hits.

The Detroit Tigers were beaten by the Kansas City Royals 5-1 on Saturday night.
Michael Wacha pitched seven scoreless innings, Bobby Witt Jr. hit an inside-the-park home run on a grounder and Michael Massey had a three-run homer for the Royals, who will go for the series sweep on Sunday night.
Witt hit the ball down the right-field line in the first inning that bounced off the wall and eluded right fielder Kerry Carpenter. Witt motored around the bases and beat the relay throw to the plate for a two-run homer.
It was the Royals’ first inside-the-park home run since Witt did it in August 2023.
Carpenter left the game later with left shoulder soreness.
Wacha (4-2) gave up two hits, walked two and struck out six. It was his longest scoreless outing since throwing eight scoreless innings against the Chicago White Sox on April 11.
Burch Smith (0-2) took the loss. He retired only one of the four batters he faced, allowing two runs on three hits in one-third of an inning.
Massey’s homer in the fourth inning came with runners on first and third with two outs. He lined the ball over the right-center field fence for his third homer of the season.
Wacha had at least one strikeout in each of his first four innings. The Tigers loaded the bases in the fifth on a double, a walk and a hit batter, but Wacha got Matt Vierling to ground out to end the inning.
The Tigers scored in the eighth on a two-out double by Riley Greene.
