LeBron James, NBA superstar and minority owner of Liverpool FC, was among the first to publicly address the incident. Taking to social media, he expressed his disbelief and extended his thoughts and prayers to those affected. In a tweet, James wrote, "OMG!!!! WTH. My deepest thoughts and prayers goes out to everyone affected that attended @LFC Premier League trophy parade today! Such a senseless act! #YNWA."
James, who purchased a 2% stake in Liverpool FC in 2011, later converted it into a 1% stake in Fenway Sports Group, the club's majority owner. His involvement with the team has been a point of pride, and he has frequently expressed his support for the club and its fans.
The incident has cast a shadow over what was meant to be a day of celebration for Liverpool FC and its supporters. As investigations continue, the community remains united in the face of this tragedy.
This tragic event serves as a reminder of the importance of safety and vigilance during public gatherings. As authorities work to determine the cause and intent behind the incident, the thoughts and prayers of many are with the victims and their families.
Liverpool released a statement on Monday regarding the incident and confirmed they were assisting Merseyside Police with their investigation into the incident.
"We are in direct contact with Merseyside Police regarding the incident on Water Street which happened towards the end of the trophy parade earlier this evening.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been affected by this serious incident. We will continue to offer our full support to the emergency services and local authorities who are dealing with this incident."
A magnificent season for Liverpool
Under the guidance of new manager Arne Slot, Liverpool Football Club embarked on a remarkable journey during the 2024-25 season, culminating in their first Premier League title since 2019-20.
The Reds secured the championship on April 27, 2025, with a commanding 5-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, marking their 20th league title and equaling the record for the most in English football history. They finished 10 points clear of Arsenal in second place, a dominant margin in an increasingly competitive league.
Mohamed Salah led the charge with 34 goals across all competitions, while Cody Gakpo and Luis Díaz contributed significantly to the team's attacking prowess. The defense, anchored by Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté, provided a solid foundation for the team's success.
Despite early exits from the FA Cup, EFL Cup, and UEFA Champions League, Liverpool's league performance was dominant, reflecting the effectiveness of Slot's tactical approach and the squad's cohesion.
Even if the incident tarnishes what was meant to be long-awaited day of celebration for Liverpool fans, who missed out on a parade five years ago, nothing and no one can take away the memories of their Premier League title-winning season.
