Jordan Willis, 39, and Ivory Carson, 42, were charged with delivering a controlled substance and three counts of involuntary manslaughter. The victims\u2014Ricky Johnson, David Harrington, and Clayton McGeeney\u2014were found dead two days after the game on January 7, 2024. Officials stated they died from fentanyl and cocaine toxicity. Platte County Prosecutor Eric Zahnd emphasized the accountability of drug suppliers in overdose cases. Police Chief Stacey Graves highlighted the importance of thorough investigations over speed in charging suspects. Willis&#8217;s attorney claimed his client is not responsible for the deaths and expressed surprise at the charges given previous communications from prosecutors. Court documents indicated that cocaine supplied by Willis was used at Harrington&#8217;s house before moving to Willis&#8217;s home where alcohol and marijuana were also consumed.
