A man who was falsely accused of firing a gunshot at the Chiefs Super Bowl Parade in February 2024 has passed away, his lawyer said in a statement released on social media on Friday.
The Associated Press confirmed that Denton Loudermill Jr. has passed away.
No cause of death was provided. He was 49 years old.
“More details will be provided in time,” said Attorney Lalonarasitor Sanders, “However, for now, we ask that you respect the need for family privacy to grieve this huge loss.”
Loudermill, Olathe, Kansas, was temporarily handcuffed during the turmoil on February 14, 2024, but was not charged in connection with a shooting that left one person dead and injured more than 20 people.
Loudermill subsequently filed lawsuits against three Missouri Senators and Tennessee Senators.
The case was dismissed by the court.
Three men were charged with murder after the shooting, and authorities said it was attributed to a dispute between the two groups.
Others faced lower fees.
Lassiter Sanders said she will continue her fight to clear Laudermill's name after her death.
Roudermill was a first-time US citizen since birth and worked in a local car wash.
“The family will spend this time lamenting, but I want to make it clear that this is not over,” Lassiter Sanders said. “The careless and heartless actions of lawmakers, Missouri Senators and social media influencers prevented him from verifying the truth before destroying human lives, so he must not pursue the lies he has plagued with stress and lie.”
Loudermill's lawsuit alleges it freezes in the middle of the chaos after the shooting and was handcuffed because it was “too late” when police cleared the scene.
As he sat handcuffs on the curb, people began taking photos and posting on social media. There he was called “illegal aliens” and “archer.”
“I thought you made your decision before,” said Lassiter Sanders, “You haven't seen anything yet!”
