Kansas Man Wrongfully Accused in Chiefs Parade Shooting Dies at 49, Lawyer Confirms

The man who was falsely being accused of being part of a mass shooting during the 2024 Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade has been found dead. 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.
