Prosecutor wants murder charges against suspects accused in deaths of men found frozen in Northland
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - The Platte County prosecutor’s office confirmed that it is requesting the charges against two men accused in the deaths of three Kansas City Chiefs fans be amended to murder.
Records filed in court on June 25 showed the prosecutor’s office filed a motion to amend the charges against Jordan Willis and Ivory Carson to second-degree murder.
Willis and Carson are charged with three counts of first-degree involuntary manslaughter and two counts of delivery of a controlled substance in the deaths of:
The bodies of the three men were found dead in the backyard of a house near NW Waukomis Drive and NE Barry Road on Jan. 9, 2024.
A probable cause document indicated that McGeeney, Johnson and Harrington died from a combined toxicity of fentanyl and cocaine.
It listed off statements and evidence collected over the course of that year as follows.
A witness described partying with Willis and the others at Harrington’s home before they left for Willis’ house.
That witness went on to say that when the group gets cocaine, their usual supplier was someone they knew as “Blade Brown”, identified by police as Carson. Police wrote that Carson later admitted to selling cocaine by the gram to the group previously.
Another witness said that when the friends wanted to party and ran low on money, they would hang out with Willis because he would provide it.
The probable cause document indicated two bags found in the home were tested for narcotics. One was determined to be cocaine, the other fentanyl. DNA results later described Willis as a “major contributor” of DNA on the bag of cocaine and Carson as a “major contributor” of DNA on the bag of fentanyl.
Cell phone data was extracted from Harrington’s phone, showing messages between the group. The messages, the document said, “showed the main source of supply of Cocaine for HARRINGTON was CARSON.”
Both Willis and Carson also face four civil lawsuits filed by family members of the three men who died.
