In a shocking turn of events, three Kansas City Chiefs fans were discovered dead at a residence in Kansas City, sparking a police investigation into their mysterious deaths. The victims, Ricky Johnson, 38, Clayton McGeeney, 36, and David Harrington, 37, were longtime friends since high school.

According to reports, the trio had gathered at a home on the 5200 block NW 83rd Terrace in Kansas City on January 7 to watch the Chiefs playoff game against the Los Angeles Chargers. However, they never returned home, raising concerns among their loved ones.

Two days later, the fiancée of one of the men went to the house in search of her partner. To her horror, she discovered a body on the back porch and immediately alerted the authorities. The Kansas City Police Department subsequently launched an investigation into the matter.

During their investigation, the police made a grim discovery. In addition to the body found on the back porch, two more lifeless bodies were located in the backyard of the residence. The police department stated that there were "no obvious signs of foul play" around the crime scene.

Stephanie Walling, Johnson's niece, expressed the devastating impact of her uncle's death on the family. She described Johnson as a cherished son, brother, uncle, and friend. Walling, who was unaware of the resident of the home until the bodies were found, spoke about the anguish of not knowing the circumstances that led to the tragedy.

As the investigation continues, the Kansas City Police Department has refrained from identifying the resident of the house where the incident occurred. However, authorities have stated that the resident has been cooperating with the detectives since the discovery of the bodies.

Family members and friends have rallied together to support the victims' loved ones during this difficult time. A GoFundMe page has been set up to raise funds for the funeral expenses of Ricky Johnson.

The police department has not made any arrests in connection with the deaths and is actively working to determine the cause behind the tragedy. Detectives are conducting a thorough investigation to shed light on the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Johnson, McGeeney, and Harrington.

Walling, overcome with sorrow, spoke to NBC News about her uncle's love for his daughters and the unfulfilled plans he had for them. She remembered him as a gentle giant and a caring person who was an ardent Kansas City Chiefs fan.

As the community mourns the loss of these dedicated football fans, the need for answers grows stronger. The investigation will strive to uncover the truth behind the tragic events that unfolded on that fateful evening.
