Breaking News: Harrison Butker of the Chiefs Receives Praise for Touching Gesture Towards Fan Who Tragically Lost Her Life at Super Bowl Parade

The grieving family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan sought to honor her memory in a poignant manner following her tragic passing during what was meant to be a celebratory event, the Kansas City Chiefs parade.

In a touching gesture, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker stepped forward to assist the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a mother of two who lost her life in a fatal shooting amidst a dispute at the team’s Super Bowl parade.

A plea was circulated on social media, appealing for help in locating a white Chiefs jersey bearing Butker’s name, the very jersey Lisa had worn during the parade, as the family wished to lay her to rest in it as a tribute.

According to the Kansas City Star, representatives of Fanatics and a friend of the team’s chaplain, Father Richard Rocha, both saw the request.

Butker released a statement, expressing his condolences and stating that he would provide the family with an additional jersey for Lopez-Galvan to be laid to rest in.

“My wife Isabelle and I are heartbroken by the murder of Lisa due to degenerate violence,” Butker said. “Murder is a sin that cries out to God for vengeance and I pray the men involved in this tragedy will be brought to justice. Hearing that she was a fan of my outspokenness for our shared Catholic Faith makes this even more personal. I am honored to provide a jersey to the family for her to wear. While the family is mourning their loss and grappling with their numerous injuries, I will continue to pray for their healing and the repose of Lisa’s soul.”

During the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LVIII victory over the San Francisco 49ers, Butker achieved a milestone by completing the longest field goal in Super Bowl history with a 57-yard attempt.

A GoFundMe campaign was initiated for the Lopez-Galvan family and has garnered over $379,000 in donations since its inception last week.

Following the incident, Dominic Miller and Lyndell Mays have both been charged with second-degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon.

Reports indicate that gunfire erupted due to a confrontation sparked by someone’s gaze, leading to a verbal altercation at the parade that escalated rapidly, resulting in the individuals involved brandishing firearms.

Additionally, two unidentified juveniles have been charged with gun possession and resisting arrest for their alleged involvement in the mass shooting, which left 23 people injured.
