Two men have been arrested over the deaths of three Kansas City Chiefs who were found in their friend's back garden.

The three friends died from a combination of fentanyl and cocaine two days after the group watched a Chiefs game at a home in Northland on 7 January 2024.

Ivory Carson and Jordan Willis, who rented the property, have both been charged with three counts of involuntary manslaughter and two counts of delivery of a controlled substance.

Ricky Johnson Jr, 38, David Harrington, 37, and Clayton McGeeney, 36, have been named as the three NFL fans who died.

When investigators searched the property, they said they found a bag of cocaine with Willis’ DNA on it, and a bag of fentanyl, which allegedly had Carson’s DNA on it.

County Prosecutor Eric Zahnd said in a press conference: "This case is a tragic reminder of the dangers of street drugs.

"But make no mistake the people that supply those drugs can and will be held accountable when people overdose."

The prosecutor said that a witness told police that he first went to Harrington’s home with the three victims, where a large plate of cocaine was allegedly supplied to the group.

They then headed to Willis' home after the game where they allegedly smoked marijuana and used cocaine.

Documents state that police found messages on Harrington’s phone, indicating that Carson was said to have supplied him with cocaine.

However, Willis' defence lawyer, John Picerno, has argued that his clients did not purchase or supply the drugs.

"The probable cause statement submitted by the state is consistent with what Jordan stated happened," he told the Kansas City Star.

"Jordan maintains that he is not responsible for purchasing or supplying the drugs that led to the deaths of his three friends.

"We are very much looking forward to the day a jury gets to hear all of the evidence in this case."

Carson is being held in a Platte County jail on a $100,000 bond, while Willis is set to surrender himself and put up a $100,000 cash bond.
