Prosecutors have filed charges in the deaths of three Kansas City Chiefs fans who died after taking drugs at the home of a friend where they’d gone to watch a game more than a year ago.
Platte County Prosecutor Eric Zahnd said that Jordan Willis, who hosted the game watch party, and Ivory Carson have been charged with two counts each of delivery of a controlled substances and three counts of involuntary manslaughter in the deaths of Clayton McGeeney, Ricky Johnson, and David Harrington, KSHB reported.
The three men were found dead outside Willis’s home on January 9, 2024. According to a probable cause statement, the men died from a combination of fentanyl and cocaine toxicity.
Willis told investigators that the men came over to watch the football game on January 7 and that they were drinking and smoking marijuana during the game. At some point, he said, he thought they left, but apparently, they had gone into the backyard of the home, where they died when temperatures plummeted.
The bodies were found until friends came looking for them days later.
Investigators found powdery substances in two plastic bags found at the house. One bag contained fentanyl, and the other contained cocaine, tests revealed.
Willis’s DNA was found on the bag with cocaine, and Carson’s DNA was on the fentanyl bag.
Carson told police he sold the cocaine to the four men before January 1, 2024.
Zahnd said that Carson is already in custody and that Willis is preparing to turn himself in.
