A woman who died in the mass shooting after a parade for the Kansas City Chiefs and their Super Bowl victory DJed around the area and was a music lover who hosted an hourlong Tejano music radio show. Friends said Lisa Lopez-Galvan went to the parade with her husband and young adult son. Rosa Izurieta and Martha Ramirez knew Lopez-Galvan since childhood and remembered her as an extrovert but also a strong Catholic and devoted family woman in her mid-40s. They said working part time as a DJ allowed her to share her love of music. Izurieta said her friend had a “selfless heart.”
