Authorities are arresting three in connection with the shooting at the Kansas City Super Bowl parade. Authorities have charged them with firearms possession charges. The shooting left one dead and many injured.
According to the court record, the three do not appear to be among the shooters. Instead, authorities charged them with illegal firearms trafficking, as well as headstrong gun purchases, according to Bleacher Report.
Authorities charged Fedo Antonia Manning with one count of conspiracy to traffic firearms, one count of selling firearms without a license and 10 counts of making a false statement on a Department of Justice form.
Manning allegedly transported firearms over a one-year period dating back to May 2022. At that time, Manning did not have a license to be a firearms dealer. However, this allegedly did not stop him from purchasing numerous weapons. He allegedly claimed to be a buyer, but authorities believed he intended to sell the weapons to others.
Authorities arrest three in shooting at Super Bowl parade in Kansas City
In total, police confiscated 15 guns registered to Manning from other people. Some people were not legally allowed to own guns. In particular, authorities traced one of the weapons used in the shooting to Manning. Manning reportedly purchased the firearm in August 2022.
Authorities found the gun, which was missing four bullets, at the scene of the shooting. Meanwhile, authorities also arrested two other men, Ronnel Dewayne Williams Jr. and Chaelyn Hendrick Groves, in connection with the shooting. The two allegedly made false statements when questioned by a federal agent.
Authorities charged both with “conspiracy to make false statements in the acquisition of firearms, and complicity in making false statements in the acquisition of a firearm.” Groves allegedly asked Williams to purchase a firearm on his behalf. The police also recovered this weapon from the scene.
According to federal agents, Groves gave a false identity when questioned. He later admitted his true identity. Likewise, Williams initially reported that someone had stolen the gun. He later admitted the truth to authorities after further questioning.
These are just the latest charges in the case. Authorities charged Dominic Miller and Lyndell Mays with second-degree murder, among other charges. The two are awaiting trial for their roles in the deadly shooting. Authorities also arrested two unidentified juveniles in connection with the shooting.
The Kansas City Super Bowl parade shooting is reminiscent of many of the Boston Marathon attacks. It was a day of celebration turned into tragedy.
