The father of one of the menfound dead after watching a Kansas City Chiefs gameat a friend’s house says “justice doesn’t mean anything” to him aftertwo men were charged with manslaughterin connection with the deaths.
David Harrington, 37, Clayton McGeeney, 36, and Ricky Johnson, 38, were found dead outside the rental home of their friend Jordan Willis on Jan. 9, 2024, two days after they watched a Chiefs playoff game there.
The Kansas City Police Department said on Wednesday, March 5 that the three men had died of combined toxicity from fentanyl and cocaine and that two men, Willis and Ivory Carson, had both beencharged withthree counts of involuntary manslaughter and distribution of a controlled substance.
Jon Harrington, father of David, spoke to PEOPLE after Willis and Carson were arrested.
“Justice doesn’t really mean anything to me,” he tells PEOPLE. “No, my son’s gone and nothing’s going to bring him back. And whether they arrested them and the trial was held today, it won’t be, I don’t have real strong hopes for what’s going to happen with any of that.”
Willis’s lawyer John Picerno previously said in a 2024 statement that his client was “unaware of how his friends died."

Willis has pleaded not guilty. It is not immediately clear if Carson has entered a plea.
Platte County Prosecutor Eric Zahnd said two bags with powdery substances were found during a search of the home, with one containing cocaine and another containing fentanyl.
“The probable cause statement alleges that Mr. Willis was determined to be the major contributor of DNA found on that bag [with cocaine],” Zahnd said. “The other bag contained fentanyl and the probable cause statement alleges that Mr. Carson was determined to be the major contributor of DNA on that bag.”
