A year has passed since three Kansas City Chiefs fans, Clayton McGeeney, 37; Ricky Johnson, 38; and David Harrington, 36, were found dead outside their friend Jordan Willis’ home in Kansas City, Missouri. Despite autopsies revealing fentanyl, cocaine, and marijuana in their systems, the cause of their deaths remains unclear, and authorities have not handed down any criminal charges.
Willis, who hosted the men at his home on January 7, 2024, to watch a Chiefs game, has not been charged with any crime. His attorney, John Picerno, stated in September that “charges will be forthcoming in the next few weeks” but later clarified that “my client will not be charged in any manner with having to do with the untimely death of his friends.”
The deceased men’s families have questioned Willis’ involvement in their deaths, with some threatening to file lawsuits. However, Picerno has maintained that Willis will not be charged with any crime related to the deaths.
The investigation, which the Kansas City Police Department has characterized as a death investigation rather than a homicide investigation, has been ongoing for over nine months. The length of the probe is “definitely out of the ordinary,” according to Picerno.
The case has taken a toll on the families, who are still seeking answers. “I would love to see people held responsible for this, and I believe Jordan should be held responsible,” said Jennifer Marquez, David Harrington’s mother. “It was his home, he had the party, and, you know.”
Willis, who is a Ph.D. holder and research scientist, has also been affected by the tragedy. He has been living in a rehabilitation program and is helping care for his father. According to a source close to the Willis family, he “still struggles with the aftermath of all of this and has been trying to stay positive.”
