Three friends, Ricky Johnson, David Harrington, and Clayton McGeeney, were last seen on January 7, 2024, enjoying the final regular-season Kansas City Chiefs game at the residence of their friend, Jordan Willis. Sadly, two days later, their frozen bodies were discovered outside the house.
Following a thorough year-long investigation, Jordan Willis and Ivory Carson were charged by prosecutors in connection with the deaths, which garnered national attention. The two individuals are facing three counts of involuntary manslaughter and two counts of distributing a controlled substance. It was revealed by authorities that Carson, also known as “Blade Brown,” supplied and sold cocaine to Willis and the victims. Additionally, investigators found Carson’s DNA on a bag of fentanyl inside Willis’ home.
Willis and Carson remain in jail on a $100,000 cash bond. If convicted, they each face up to 10 years in prison.
Initially, law enforcement did not suspect foul play during the investigation. However, a toxicology report later revealed that the deceased individuals had cocaine, THC, and fentanyl in their systems. Subsequently, police have determined the cause of death to be “fentanyl and cocaine toxicity.”
As the case progressed, Willis moved out of the home and checked into rehab. A forensic analysis of Harrington’s phone uncovered text messages between Willis, McGeeney, Johnson, and others, linking Carson to the cocaine supply. DNA evidence identified Willis as a major contributor, and a second bag contained DNA matching Carson, confirming his role as the drug supplier.
