Man falsely identified as Chiefs rally shooter reopens lawsuit against lawmaker

Man falsely identified as Chiefs rally shooter reopens lawsuit against lawmaker

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – An Olathe man who was wrongly identified as the shooter at a Chiefs rally has re-filed a lawsuit against a Missouri lawmaker.

Denton Loudermill submitted earlier an invasion of privacy lawsuit against three Republican state senators, including Rick Brattin.

On the day of the shooting, Loudermill was photographed in handcuffs.

Lourdermill was not detained and was instead handcuffed because he was not moving fast enough when police ordered the crowd of parade-goers to leave the area.

Loudermill’s photo was posted on X (formerly Twitter), identifying him as the shooter and an illegal alien.

Brattin was one of the people who reposted the photo, which garnered thousands of views and engagement.

Earlier this month the judge dismissed the previous one suit for lack of personal jurisdiction because it was filed in Kansas.

The lawsuit filed in Missouri alleges invasion of privacy and defamation per se.

Loudermill’s attorney said Loudermill plans to file lawsuits against Republican Sens. Denny Hoskins and Nick Schroer who reposted similar posts.
