Travis Kelce has donated $100,000 to a GoFundMe set up to help cover the medical costs of two children injured in this week’s mass shooting at the Chiefs Super Bowl parade. The two girls whom Kelce donated to are reportedly related to local radio DJ Lisa Lopez-Galvan, who was the sole fatality in the shooting. Furthermore, the girls also received a visit from Patrick and Brittany Mahomes. The QB and his wife stopped by the children’s hospital in Kansas City to meet the two girls, whose identities have not been made public. TMZ later published photos of the Mahomeses with the girls in question.
Meanwhile, police have charged two people, both juveniles, in the shooting. The pair were charged with gun-related charges and resisting arrest. More information is also emerging about the fallout of the incident. One person died and 22 were injured, including 11 children. Furthermore, the local fire chief said that eight people were critically injured and seven were in serious condition. However, Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas, who was in attendance, said there were no plans to cancel the upcoming St. Patrick’s Parade. “We have parades all the time. I don’t think they’ll end. Certainly, we recognized the public safety challenges and issues that relate to them,” Lucas said.

Kelce’s donation follows one made by his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. Swift reportedly donated $100,000 to a GoFundMe set up to support the family of Lopez-Galvan. Lopez-Galvan was killed when a trio of individuals opened fire at the Chiefs Super Bowl parade earlier this week. “Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences in the wake of your devastating loss. With love, Taylor Swift,” a note on the donation read. Before taking the stage for an Eras Tour show in Melbourne, Swift’s team confirmed to Billboard that it was a legitimate donation from the singer.
Lopez-Galvan, who hosted a food program on a local radio station, was the lone fatality in the shooting. 22 others were injured. “It is with sincere sadness and an extremely heavy and broken heart that we let our community know that KKFI DJ Lisa Lopez, host of Taste of Tejano lost her life today in the shooting at the KC Chiefs’ rally. Our hearts and prayers are with her family. This senseless act has taken a beautiful person from her family and this KC Community,” wrote Lopez-Galvan’s employer wrote in a statement.
