Lyndell Mays, a 24-year-old suspect charged with second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon following a shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade, has been pictured for the first time since being charged and released from the hospital. In the wake of the incident, Mays' family, led by his mother, initiated a GoFundMe campaign to support him through this 'tragic time.' The crowdfunding effort, however, was short-lived, raising $100 before its deletion. The move to set up the GoFundMe has garnered significant attention and criticism online.
