Man falsely accused of being a shooter after Kansas 2024 Super Bowl win, dies – National [Video]

A Kansas man who was falsely accused of being among the shooters who opened fire at a rally celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory last year has died, his attorney said.

Denton Loudermill Jr., of Olathe, was briefly handcuffed but was never charged in the chaos that followed the deadly shooting. He later filed lawsuits against three Republican Missouri state senators and a Tennessee congressman who shared social media posts that falsely implicated him.

Those cases were all dismissed, largely on jurisdictional issues.

Attorney LaRonna Lassiter Saunders confirmed Loudermill’s death in a statement Friday but gave no details on the circumstances. Loudermill was 49.

“More details will be provided in time, but for now, we ask that you honor the family’s need for privacy as they come together to grieve this tremendous loss,” she wrote.

The Feb. 14, 2024, shooting outside Union Station in Kansas City, Missouri, killed a well-known DJ and injured more than 20 others, many of them children.
