Kansas City Chiefs fans found dead at watch party in backyard

In January 2023, three Kansas City Chiefs fans were discovered deceased in the backyard of their friend Jordan Willis's home in Kansas City, Missouri, two days after they gathered for a watch party. The victims, David Harrington, Ricky Johnson, and Clayton McGeeney, were found 'frozen to death' on January 9, prompting an investigation by the Kansas City Police Department. The investigation has been ongoing for nine months, with the police labeling it a death investigation rather than a homicide. Willis's attorney, John Picerno, has stated that charges are expected to be filed soon, but not against Willis himself. Instead, the focus may shift to individuals who potentially supplied drugs to the deceased fans. Picerno expressed confidence that his client would not face criminal charges, although civil charges could still be a possibility. The attorney emphasized the emotional toll this situation has taken on Willis, who reportedly slept through the events leading to the discovery of the bodies. The families of the victims have been left in the dark regarding the investigation's progress, with Harrington's mother expressing frustration over the lack of communication from authorities. The situation has led to significant public scrutiny and speculation about Willis's role in the tragedy, with many people reportedly turning against him. As the investigation continues, the families seek closure while the legal ramifications for those involved remain uncertain. The case highlights the complexities surrounding drug use and accountability in social settings, raising questions about the responsibilities of hosts during gatherings.
