Two men will appear in court Thursday to face murder charges for the first time after three Kansas City Chiefs fans were found dead in the backyard of their friend’s home in January 2024.

On Thursday at 10 a.m. EST, the Platte County Circuit Court will hold a preliminary hearing for Jordan R. Willis and Ivory “Blade” Carson. 

The two are facing amended second-degree felony-murder charges in the deaths of three Kansas City Chiefs fans.

The victims, Ricky Johnson,38, David Harrington, 37, and Clayton McGeeney, 36, were found dead in Willis’s backyard in January 2024, days after the group gathered to watch a Chiefs game.

Two other unidentified witnesses, who were present at the football watch party, told police that they “drank, smoked marijuana and used cocaine.” One of the witnesses said that he left “shortly before midnight” on Jan. 8, documents said. 

Another witness said that before heading to Willis’ rental home, he saw a “large plate of cocaine allegedly supplied by Mr. Willis that everyone was using” at Harrington’s home, the documents said.

Court records also indicated that Carson, who went by “Blade Brown,” allegedly supplied and sold cocaine to Willis and the victims, and that his DNA was found on a bag of fentanyl.

The Kansas City Police Department said that it investigated the three deaths for 14 months before charges were filed.

“KCPD detectives never stopped working on the case, waiting for all the facts to come in. Reaching this point is a testament to their dedication to delivering justice for the victims and their loved ones,” Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves said Wednesday.
