Olathe man wants to clear name after being wrongly identified as rally shooter

An Olathe man wants to clear his name after he was wrongly identified on social media as a suspect of Wednesday’s mass shooting following the rally of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade .

“I just want to clear my name that I had nothing to do with anything,” said Denton Loudermill, a Chiefs fan and father from Olathe. “I was just enjoying myself like everybody else, but other than that, I was out there not to harm anybody. I was just enjoying the parade like everybody else.”

A day of celebration turned to a day of heartache after a shooting broke out following the Chiefs Super Bowl rally. KKFI DJ Lisa Lopez-Galvan was killed and 22 others were injured.

“We want to offer our condolences to Ms. Lopez-Galvan and her family, and to the other 22 victims and their families that were impacted by this horrible tragedy,” said LaRonna Lassiter Saunders, Loudermill’s attorney. “They are living a true nightmare right now. The other person that would be living a nightmare would be Mr. Denton because he’s the one accused of being the shooter at that event.”
