Fred Goings pleaded not guilty today to charges of murdering his ex-girlfriend Nova Henry and her 10-month-old daughter, Ava. Nova and Ava were killed in Nova's condo on January 24 of this year; three-year-old son Noah was found unharmed in the condo with the bodies and is alleged to have named Fred as the shooter. Goings' attorney, John Lyke, also withdrew from the case, claiming Goings - himself an attorney - could not afford his services. Nova is the ex-girlfriend of ex-Chicago Bull (and current NY Knick) player Eddy Curry, and both Ava and Noah are Curry's biological children. [Sun-Times] more ›

Frederick Goings, ex-boyfriend of Nova Henry, has officially been charged with two counts of first degree murder in the deaths of Henry and her infant daughter Ava. Goings has been the prime suspect in the killings since they happened as reports surfaced that the two had a volatile relationship: Henry had previously taken out an order of protection against Goings and the two allegedly had an argument the day of the murders. Henry's three-year-old son, Noah, who was found unharmed in Henry's apartment with his mother's and sister's body had reportedly told members, "Fred did it." Goings and Henry first met when Goings represented Henry in a paternity suit against former Bull Eddy Curry, who is the father of both of Henry's children. Curry was not considered a suspect and authorities said he's been fully cooperative in their investigation. As for Noah, he remains in the custody of his grandmother. more ›

There have been no charges filed and police won't confirm who it is, but someone has been arrested in connection with the killings of Nova Henry and her infant daughter Ava. Nova and Ava were found murdered in Nova's apartment in January; Nova is the former girlfriend of former Bull and current New York Knick Eddy Curry. Nova and Curry's three-year-old son, Noah, was with his mother and sister when they were killed but was left unharmed and later told family members, "Fred did it," assumed to be Nova's former boyfriend Frederick Goings. Goings had been questioned by police after the murders but was eventually released. Police have not commented on whether Goings was the man arrested, but he had previously abused Nova and was reported to have had an argument with Nova on the day of her killing. more ›
