Chance Comanche has recently made a shocking confession. The former NBA G-League basketball player has admitted to strangling his victim.
A Harrowing Confession
In a disturbing turn of events, Chance Comanche has confessed to the murder of Marayna Rodgers, revealing chilling details of the crime. Las Vegas police have accused Comanche and his 19-year-old girlfriend, Sakari Harnden, of meticulously planning and carrying out the murder.
The plot began to take shape on Nov. 30, as revealed by text messages and group chats obtained by authorities.
According to FOX 5 Vegas, Comanche had initially tried to involve a friend in the murder plot, but the friend refused. Undeterred, Comanche and Harnden devised a plan to lure Rodgers into a “kinky sex” trap.
Comanche convinced Rodgers to meet him, promising a payment of $1,000. Once in the car, Rodgers had her hands zip-tied, unaware of her danger.
More Shocking Details
Comanche said he and Harnden dated more than a year ago and broke up but remained friendly, according to the documents. The report said Comanche told authorities Harden was having problems with Rodgers and claimed the woman was going to “smoke” Harnden over a Rolex watch, and that was when they began their plot to kill her.
The former basketball player informed investigators that their motive for the murder was Harnden’s alleged issues with Rodgers, including a dispute over a Rolex watch. The couple drove Rodgers to a secluded area, where Comanche proceeded to wrap an HDMI cord around her neck.
Upon hearing Rodgers struggle to breathe, Comanche stopped, and Harnden allegedly took over and choked her to death. The pair later dumped Rodgers’ body in Henderson, concealing it with rocks.
Comanche In Custody
Users on Twitter (X) reacted to Comanche’s confession. One user named @SpoonOfZeke commented, “Never thought I would see a death by HDMI cord.” Another user named @Qurandale commented, “This gotta be the most insane s*it I’ve ever seen dawg.”
Comanche’s arrest came shortly after his release from the Stockton Kings basketball team. He was apprehended by the FBI on Dec. 15, two days after Harnden’s arrest. Comanche is in custody without bail in California, awaiting further legal proceedings.

Former Basketball Player & Girlfriend Charged With Open Murder In Las Vegas Killing
Chance Comanche, a former basketball player, and his girlfriend, Sakari Harnden, are facing an open murder charge. The charge is in connection with the kidnapping and killing of a missing woman in Las Vegas.
Police Pursue Murder Charges
Chance Comanche, who formerly played for the NBA G-League’s Stockton Kings, and his girlfriend, Sakari Harnden, were arrested on Dec. 13 and charged with kidnapping Harnden’s friend, Marayna Rodgers.
Rodgers, who was visiting Las Vegas from Washington state, was reported missing on Dec. 7, two days after she was last seen with friends and had arranged to meet with Harnden and Comanche, according to police. Police began pursuing murder charges against the couple after Rodgers’ remains were discovered, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said in a news release on Dec. 17.
Rodgers’ Body Found
The investigation took a grim turn when police discovered Rodgers’ remains in a desert area of Henderson, about 20 miles southeast of Las Vegas. Detectives determined that both Harnden and Comanche were responsible for the murder of Rodgers.
While Harnden has been charged with murder, theft, and kidnapping, Comanche is currently awaiting extradition to Nevada and has not yet been charged with murder, although police stated that both suspects’ charges would be amended to open murder.
Fans Speculate
The arrest of Comanche and Harnden has generated a strong reaction on social media.
One user with the handle @BrownStallone commented, “Way to throw your life away. Missed golden opportunity.” Another user named @Curve_Fu_Master expressed their disbelief, stating, “It’s really crazy how these athletes really be living double lives.”
No murder charge has been filed against Comanche, according to court records, but police said Sunday that both suspects’ charges would be “amended to open murder through coordination with the Clark County District Attorney’s office.”
Comanche was arrested by FBI personnel on Dec. 15 in Sacramento, California, and is awaiting extradition to Nevada, according to police.
Tragedy Strikes Lagos Influencer
This case is reminiscent of another tragic murder, as seen in the death of Nigerian influencer Augusta Osedion, also known as Austa XXO. In July 2023, her boyfriend Benjamin Best confessed to killing her through a series of Instagram posts after Osedion was found dead in a pool of blood.
