A man accused of firing the gunshot that killed a Kansas City radio personality during the Chiefs' 2024 Super Bowl parade is expected to be released from jail after prosecutors dropped second-degree murder charges.

Dominic M. Miller, 20, has pleaded guilty to a single count of unlawful use of a weapon as part of an agreement in Jackson County, Missouri circuit court. He's been sentenced to two years in prison and will receive credit for time served. His attorney, public defender David Wiegert, told TMZ that Miller is expected to be released when the judgment is filed.

Two counts of armed criminal action against Miller were also dropped.

Lisa Lopez-Galvan, 43, a D.J. and radio host was killed during a gunfire exchange at the parade, which commemorated the Chiefs' Super Bowl LVIII title.

In total, a dozen individuals are believed to have drawn weapons, at least six of whom fired shots in downtown Kansas City on February 14, 2024.

Miller, who was also struck by a bullet during the shooting, could have faced life in prison if convicted on second-degree murder charges.

Prosecutors claimed another suspect, Lyndell Mays, fired first, but it was Miller who discharged the shot that killed Lopez-Galvan.

Another individual, Terry Young, will also face trial for the shooting, but not until 2027.

Prosecutors in the case explained in a statement they would struggle to meet the burden of proof for a second-degree murder charge against Miller.

'Under Missouri's self-defense and defense-of-others doctrines, we must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that any charged defendant was the initial aggressor or did not act in lawful self-defense or defense of others to overcome justification,' the statement said. 'The evidence available showed he was not the first to fire, nor was the available evidence able to confirm his shot caused the victim's death.'

Prosecutors said they remained in contact with Lopez-Galvan's family throughout the investigation and trial.

Miller is now expected to be released within days, according to his public defender, David Wiegert.

'Mr. Miller spent over two years in custody and several months in the hospital in critical condition because of gunshot wounds he suffered from this incident,' Wiegert said in a statement. 'While we are very pleased to see his freedom restored, we remain concerned that he was charged with murder in the first place.

'Missouri law is clear that a person who unintentionally strikes a third party while attempting to lawfully defend himself or another is immune from criminal liability, and the video of this incident has been on hand since Day 1.'
