According to court records obtained by Kansas City media outlet Fox 4, Jordan Willis and Ivory J. Carson were arrested and charged with three counts of involuntary manslaughter. They were also charged with two counts of delivery of a controlled substance, except 35 grams or less of marijuana or synthetic cannabinoid.
Eric Zahnd with the Platte County Prosecutor’s Office issued a statement about the arrests and charges. “Today’s charges are the product of the hard work of the Kansas City detectives and prosecutors over those many months. This case is a tragic reminder of the dangers of Street Drugs, but make no mistake: the people who supply those drugs can and will be held accountable.”
Willis was connected to the investigation because the three Kansas City Chiefs fans, identified as David Harrington, Ricky Johnson, and Clayton, were found dead outside of his rental home. Carson was revealed to be charged during a news conference with Zahnd and Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves.
“The members of the Kansas City Missouri Police Department do not give up on these investigations,” Graves stated. “While this happened a year ago, our detectives continued to work on this case to get it to the point where we are at.”
Court records revealed that Carson supplied and sold cocaine to Willies and the three victims. His DNA was also discovered on a bag of fentanyl.
