Tragic KC Chiefs Fans’ Suspicious Deaths Lead to Bombshell Lawsuit and Criminal Charges [WATCH] |​ RVM News

The two men recently charged in connection with the tragic deaths of three Kansas City Chiefs fans are now facing a wrongful death lawsuit, adding another layer to the shocking case.

As The New York Post reported, Jordan Willis and Ivory Carson, who were recently indicted on involuntary manslaughter and drug distribution charges, have now been sued by the family of one of the deceased men.

The lawsuit, filed on Friday, accuses them of supplying the lethal substances that ultimately led to the victims’ deaths.

The tragedy dates back to January 2024, when Ricky Johnson Jr., 38, David Harrington, 37, and Clayton McGeeney, 36, gathered at Willis’ Kansas City home to watch the Chiefs’ final game of the season.

The night took a fatal turn, and their frozen bodies were discovered in the backyard two days later. A lengthy investigation followed, fueled by rampant speculation, but authorities ultimately concluded last week that the cause of death was a deadly mix of fentanyl and cocaine.

Now, Jon Harrington, father of one of the victims, is holding Willis and Carson legally responsible. The lawsuit alleges that both men were aware of the risks but handed out the drugs anyway.

The lawsuit states:

“Defendant Willis and Defendant Ivory knew, or through the use of a reasonable degree of care, should have known of the presence of the fentanyl and the dangers and hazards that it posed including the possibility of being lethal to anyone that might ingest it.”

The suit further claims that once Harrington and the others began suffering the effects of the drugs, neither Willis nor Carson attempted to provide aid or seek help. The grieving father is seeking $100,000 in damages.

Meanwhile, Willis and Carson pleaded not guilty last Thursday to the criminal charges against them. Platte County Prosecutor Eric Zahnd made it clear that those responsible for distributing deadly substances will be held accountable.

“This case is a tragic reminder of the dangers of street drugs,” Zahnd said. “But make no mistake, the people that supply those drugs can and will be held accountable when people overdose.”

Investigators have gathered substantial evidence linking both men to the drugs in question. Witnesses reported that the group used cocaine while watching the game, and Willis allegedly had a habit of supplying it—purchasing from Carson when money was tight.

A search of the home turned up a bag of cocaine with Willis’ DNA and a separate bag of fentanyl with Carson’s DNA.

Willis, who worked as an HIV researcher and reportedly had the nickname “the chemist” among friends, told police he believed his guests had left around 4 a.m. and went to bed early that night.

However, temperatures had plunged to a chilling 33 degrees, and the three men were found lifeless two days later after McGeeney’s fiancée went searching for him.

Despite the overwhelming evidence, Willis’ lawyer, John Picerno, is painting his client as a victim, claiming he had no knowledge of the drugs his friends consumed and was unaware of their condition until law enforcement arrived.

“It has been a very, very long year for Jordan,” Picerno said. “He’s lost his job. He’s lost his home. He’s lost his friends. The public are pointing at him as someone who essentially killed them. And nothing could be further from the truth.”

Currently, both Willis and Carson are being held on a $100,000 cash bond and are scheduled to appear in court on March 11. The Post attempted to reach Picerno for additional comments regarding the lawsuit, but he did not respond immediately.
