Whoa! Minor\u00a0NBA<\/strong> league,\u00a0major<\/em> true crime scandal!<\/p>\n NBA G League player\u00a0Chance Comanche<\/strong>, 27, was arrested over the weekend in connection with the kidnapping and killing of a woman in Las Vegas earlier this month.<\/p>\n According to the Las Vegas Metro Police Department<\/strong>, 23-year-old Marayna Rodgers<\/strong> was last seen on December 6 and reported missing the next day. She was soon found dead, her remains abandoned in the desert in Henderson, Nevada.<\/p>\n Per KLAS<\/em>, police learned from her boyfriend that Marayna went to Vegas with the intention of making some money as a sex worker. She had set up a meeting with Comanche’s girlfriend, 19-year-old Sakari Harnden<\/strong> (above, inset). This was meant to be for prostitution — but it turned out to be a much more sinister “trick.”<\/p>\n Police say Sakari and Chance planned the murder in advance. In fact, based on text message evidence, Chance — who played with the Stockton Kings<\/strong>, a minor league offshoot of the Sacramento Kings<\/strong> — was involved in plotting the murder during a game! He messaged Sakari on December 2:<\/p>\n “Starting my game. I\u2019ll check half time.”<\/p>\n She replied:<\/p>\n “Okay have fun. Good luck.”<\/p>\n He allegedly wrote to her about sharing the plan with others:<\/p>\n “It\u2019s green. Gave them her full name. SSN. Her IG page. All dat…\u00a0I told my dawg the whole plan. He just waiting to run it by them.”<\/p>\n It’s unclear if anyone else will face charges.\u00a0Most damning was the text she sent him explaining the plan! She allegedly wrote:<\/p>\n “Pretend to be a trick and have her come to wherever you at and get her when she show up”<\/p>\n That’s just what they did, according to the arrest report. Chance allegedly confessed to police he snatched up Marayna and strangled her to death in the desert.<\/p>\n But why??<\/p>\n According to the doc, Sakari had allegedly implicated a previous boyfriend in connection to a double murder — and Marayna had spoken about it. Sakari didn’t like it being advertised that she was a snitch:<\/p>\n “Sakari was upset at Marayna for telling other people that Sakari had implicated her boyfriend in the murder.”<\/p>\n And for that, the poor girl had to die?? Sakari was arrested on Wednesday, December 13. Two days later Chance was taken into custody in California — he is expected to be transferred to Nevada, where he and his girlfriend are both facing charges of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and kidnapping.<\/p>\n The Stockton Kings released him immediately after his arrest on Friday. All that potential thrown away, a woman’s life ended so young, and for what? Spite? Rep? We just don’t understand…<\/p>\n
