Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a 44-year-old DJ with Kansas City radio station KKFI, tragically lost her life during the celebrations.
Two contributions of $50,000 enabled the fundraising campaign to far exceed its initial goal of $75,000. Swift added a personal message with her donation.
Lopez-Galvan was hosting a local radio show as she and hundreds of thousands of other fans celebrated the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory. Gunfire erupted, injuring more than 20 people, including three members of this family. This campaign aims to help her family cope with this tragedy.
Nine children were also injured in the incident, which occurred during a rally at Kansas City’s Union Station on February 14, a crowd of nearly a million people celebrating their team’s victory. When shots were fired, the event quickly took an unfortunate turn.
Local law enforcement was immediately mobilized. Kansas City police confirmed the arrest of three suspects.
Two of them are minors who will be charged as adults by the district attorney.
