The father of one of the three Kansas City Chiefs fans found frozen in a friend’s snow-covered backyard in January 2024 has filed a lawsuit against the two suspects charged in connection with their deaths.

Jordan Willis and Ivory Carson pleaded not guilty to manslaughter charges last week in connection with the Jan. 9, 2024, deaths of David Harrington, 37, Clayton McGeeney, 36, and Ricky Johnson, 38, after an NFL watch party.
The three victims died of fentanyl toxicity.
Jon Harrington, David’s father, is accusing the defendants of four counts of negligence and is seeking $100,000 in damages, $25,000 for each charge, court records show.

He is accusing Willis and Carson of providing fentanyl and cocaine to the defendants despite not being licensed to distribute drugs in Missouri. He is also accusing the suspects of knowing “of the presence of the fentanyl and the dangers and hazards that it posed, including the possibility of being lethal to anyone that might ingest it.”
He further accuses the defendants of creating a “dangerous and hazardous condition on the property” and failing to “render aid or otherwise attempt to rescue decedent from the impacts [caused] by the cocaine and fentanyl.”

The victim sustained fatal injuries “as a direct and proximate result of the presence of cocaine and fentanyl which was caused by the negligent acts of Defendant Willis,” according to the lawsuit.

The Kansas City, Missouri, Police Department said it investigated the three deaths for 14 months before announcing charges.
The three friends were found dead in Willis’ rental home on Jan. 9, 2024, after watching the Chiefs play the Los Angeles Chargers on Jan. 7. McGeeney’s fiancée, April Mahoney, found their bodies and called police.

Willis’ attorney, John Picerno, previously told Fox News Digital that he was “surprised that Jordan was charged with the deaths of his three friends.”
“That was contrary to what the prosecuting attorney’s office told me several months ago,” Picerno said.

“The probable cause statement submitted by the State is consistent with what Jordan stated happened. 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.”
Willis and Carson’s next court appearance is on Tuesday, March 11, at 10:45 a.m. local time. Fox News Digital reached out to their attorneys for comment.

The Missouri Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday on whether the so-called “Missouri First” map is unconstitutional.
The map, passed by Republican lawmakers in September and signed by Gov. Mike Kehoe, stretches the boundaries of the 5th Congressional District, a Democratic stronghold, eastward into heavily Republican regions of the state. It also moves part of the current 5th District into the 4th and 6th districts, currently represented by Republican congressmen Mark Alford and Sam Graves. Incumbent Democrat Emanuel Cleaver is running for reelection in the 5th District.
Opponents of the Missouri First map’s main argument focused on the map being passed by lawmakers without any new data from the U.S. Census Bureau. The congressional boundaries tossed out by the Missouri First map were based on the 2020 U.S. Census.

Attorney Chuck Hatfield represents those challenging the new map passed by Republican lawmakers last fall.
“The whole idea is tethered to the census data. You must do it at the census, and you only do it at the census,” Hatfield told the High Court. “The court’s precedents also support this.”
Solicitor General Louis Capozzi, representing the Missouri Sec. of State’s office, disagreed, saying the Missouri Constitution is silent on mid-decade redistricting.
“Mid-decade redistricting had happened in Missouri in the 1870s, and mid-decade redistricting was common around the country in the first half of the 20th century,” he argued. “Article III, Section 45 of the Missouri Constitution sets out only three requirements for the redistricting of seats in Missouri, ‘The district shall be composed of contiguous territory, as compact, and as nearly equal in population as may be.’ And as long as the General Assembly complies with those three rules, this court said that Missouri courts, ‘shall respect the political determinations of the General Assembly.’”
Meanwhile, roughly a hundred demonstrators held signs across the street from the Missouri Supreme Court building, condemning the Missouri First map and calling for the Missouri Supreme Court to strike it down.

“Voters should choose our politicians,” said Missouri League of Women Voters Director Kay Park. “The League (of Women Voters) believes redistricting should keep communities of similar culture and race together to strengthen their vote and promote partisan fairness.”
The Missouri Supreme Court will rule on the congressional district map later.
Missouri senior forward Mark Mitchell was recognized Monday with a second-team selection to the All-Southeastern Conference teams.
Mitchell has led the Tigers all season long and tops the team in scoring (17.9 points per game), rebounding (5.2) and assists (3.6). He would be the just the second player in program to lead all the categories in one season, joining Albert White from the 1998-99 season.
Mitchell is also on pace to become the first player in program history to average at least 17 points, five rebounds and three assists since Anthony Peeler in 1992, the year he took home the Big 8 Conference Player of the Year award.
Mitchell was the only Missouri player to be recognized in SEC postseason awards.

Five players were named to each of the three All-SEC teams.
Darius Acuff Jr. (Arkansas), Ja’Kobi Gillespie (Tennessee), Thomas Haugh (Florida), Labaron Philon Jr. (Alabama) and Tyler Tanner (Vanderbilt) made the first team.
Acuff was named the conference’s player of the year and freshman of the year.
Joining Mitchell on the second team were Nate Ament (Tennessee), Rueben Chinyelu (Florida), Otega Oweh (Kentucky) and Dailyn Swain (Texas), while Rashaun Agee (Texas A&M), Alex Condon (Florida), Keyshawn Hall (Auburn), Aden Holloway (Alabama) and Josh Hubbard (Mississippi State) were named to the third team.
The All-SEC defensive team consisted of Chinyelu, Somto Cyril (Georgia), Felix Okpara (Tennessee), Billy Richmond III (Arkansas) and Tanner. Chinyelu was selected as the defensive player of the year.

Appearing on the all-freshman team were Acuff, Amari Allen (Alabama), Ament, Malachi Moreno (Kentucky) and Meleek Thomas (Arkansas).
Swain was selected as the newcomer of the year, while Urban Klavzar of Florida was named the sixth man of the year.
