According to her KKFI’s radio station, Lisa was a mother who sustained a shot to her abdomen and did not survive surgery.

“It is with sincere sadness and an extremely heavy and broken heart that we let our community know that KKFI DJ Lisa Lopez, host of Taste of Tejano lost her life today in the shooting at the KC Chiefs’ rally,” the radio station wrote on Facebook. “This senseless act has taken a beautiful person from her family and this KC Community.”

“She was the most wonderful, beautiful person,” a friend who works in the Star’s newsroom said. “She was a local DJ. She did everybody’s weddings. We all know her. She was so full of life.”

“For Lisa music is life and a source of happiness,” reads a biography on KKFI’s website. “Anyone could ‘get away’ mentally while listening to their favorite genre; music can also be a form of therapy for some.”

Please keep the Lopez-Galvan family in your prayers during this horrible time. It is sad that a celebration has to end in madness.
