Revision: The brother of Lisa Lopez-Galvan claims that his sister passed away shortly after being shot on Union Station property. This is the tale. Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a cherished disc jockey in Kansas City and mother of two from Johnson County, was officially slain in the shooting that took place on Wednesday night at the conclusion of the Chiefs Super Bowl parade celebration.
It is unknown if Lopez-Galvan is the person who died as police only verified one death during a 5:30 p.m. press conference. It was stated in a previous version of this report that Lopez-Galvan was thought to be a confirmed second victim.
After speaking with relatives, friends verified the death to The Star. Lopez-Galvan is said to have passed away on Wednesday afternoon at a hospital following surgery for an abdominal gunshot wound.
She was “the most wonderful, beautiful person,” according to Lisa Lopez, an executive administrative assistant in The Star’s newsroom and a longtime friend (no relation). She was a DJ in the area. She performed all of the marriages. Everyone is familiar with her. She had such a vibrant life.
Bishop Miege High School alumnus Lopez-Galvan resided in Shawnee. Married and with two grown children, she worked as a disc jockey for KKFI, a community radio station, and co-hosted the Hispanic music-focused show “Taste of Tejano.” She was in her mid-40s. Her brother is Beto Lopez, who leads the Guadalupe Centers as president and CEO. According to Lisa, “music is life and a source of happiness,” according to her KKFI biography. “Anyone can mentally ‘get away’ while listening to their favorite genre; for some people, music can even be a form of therapy.”
Before she passed away, Lopez-Galvan’s Facebook page was flooded with hopeful and pious remarks throughout the afternoon. One said, “I’m praying for you and your family.” Another said, “One of our friends needs your prayers really, really badly.” “Your prayers are also requested for her children and her younger cousin! Please offer up prayers for the medical professionals and nurses caring for all three of them. The note makes reference to two relatives who are thought to be kids as well as Lopez-Galvan’s adult son, who reportedly also sustained a gunshot wound.
