Former NBA Player and Girlfriend Arrested for Shocking Las Vegas Murder Plot

Former NBA player Chance Comanche and his alleged co-conspirator Sakari Harnden have been arrested and charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and kidnapping in Las Vegas. Comanche, while playing in an NBA G-League game, allegedly plotted the murder of Marayna Rodgers, a sex worker, with Harnden. Comanche confessed to the murder twelve days later. The remains of Rodgers were found in Henderson, outside of Las Vegas. The motive for the murder appears to be retaliation against Rodgers for implicating Harnden's boyfriend in a double murder. Police uncovered messages between Comanche and Harnden planning the kidnapping and murder. Comanche posed as a client and met up with Rodgers, where he and Harnden allegedly strangled her. Comanche has been released from his team and is awaiting extradition to Nevada.
