Now I have an update for you.

Actually, the first update came back in March of this year in case you missed it.

Jordan Willis and Ivory Carson were charged with involuntary manslaughter, which basically means someone died and you caused it but you didn't plan to do it, it wasn't premeditated:

Watch here:

But now an even bigger update....

New upgraded charges of second-degree felony murder have now been brought.

Here's everything new we know right now:

  • Upgraded Charges: Prosecutors in Platte County, Missouri, have filed a motion to upgrade charges from manslaughter to second-degree felony murder against Jordan Willis (39) and Ivory Carson (42) in the deaths of three Kansas City Chiefs fans.

  • Victims: The deceased are Ricky Johnson (38), David Harrington (37), and Clayton McGeeney (36). Their bodies were found on Jan. 9, 2024, outside Willis’ rental home, where they had gathered to watch a Chiefs game two days earlier.

  • Cause of Death: Toxicology reports confirmed all three men died from combined toxicity of fentanyl and cocaine. Both substances were found at the scene.

  • Suspected Drug Sources: Carson is identified as the primary cocaine supplier. His DNA was found on a fentanyl bag, while Willis’ DNA was found on a cocaine bag inside the home.

  • Initial Charges: In March, the men were charged with manslaughter and distribution of a controlled substance. Those charges could bring 5–15 years in prison. The new felony murder charges carry 10–30 years or life.

  • Defense Position: Willis’ attorney claims the murder charges are an “overreach” and were filed after a plea deal was rejected, asserting Willis did not supply the drugs that caused the deaths.

  • Timeline and Discovery: Temperatures had dropped to 29°F the night of the gathering. McGeeney’s fiancée discovered the bodies two days later after breaking into the home.

  • Additional Witnesses: A fifth friend had left the home while the victims were still alive. Witnesses also confirmed Carson, known as “Blade Brown,” was their usual dealer, and Willis often provided party supplies.

  • Delayed Investigation: Law enforcement withheld the cause of death for weeks, citing an ongoing investigation. The preliminary hearing was delayed after the sheriff’s office failed to transport a suspect.

  • Civil Lawsuits Filed: Four civil suits have also been filed by the families of the victims against both Willis and Carson.

    • Local Fox4KC confirms:

    Platte County prosecutors are seeking to upgrade manslaughter charges to murder against two men in connection with the January 2024 deaths of three Kansas City Chiefs fans who were found dead in a Northland backyard.

    According to court records, the Platte County prosecutor’s office has filed a motion to amend its three counts of manslaughter against Jordan Willis and Ivory J. Carson to second-degree murder for the deaths of Ricky Johnson, David Harrington and Clayton McGeeney.

    Both men are also facing two counts of delivery of a controlled substance except 35 grams or less of marijuana or synthetic cannabinoid.

    In a news conference held in March, Platte County Prosecuting Attorney Eric Zahnd and Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves announced that both Carson and Willis had been arrested and charged in connection with the deaths of the three men.

    At that point, Willis had been connected to the investigations for over a year because the men were found in the backyard of his rental home. However, in the news conference, Carson was introduced to the case as the suspected dealer who supplied and sold cocaine to Willis and the victims.

    Additionally, court records say Carson’s DNA was found on a bag of fentanyl at the scene.

    The preliminary hearing was canceled because the Platte County Sheriff’s Department forgot to transport one of the suspects from jail to the courthouse.

    This was due to a bit of oversight that the sheriff’s admitted to when the judge asked.

    On Thursday, the families of Clayton McGeeney and Ricky Johnson had nothing to say after the hearing was moved back.

    Johnson’s father did email FOX4’s Malik Jackson and said that he is happy with the work of the Platte County Prosecutors Office.
