Former Houston Officer Reindicted on Murder Charges in 2019 Raid

The reindictment comes after a previous dismissal, highlighting ongoing scrutiny over the botched 2019 drug raid.

A grand jury in Harris County, Texas, reindicted former Houston Police Department officer Gerald Goines on two murder charges, following the dismissal of similar charges last week.
The charges relate to the deaths of Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas during a no-knock raid in January 2019, where Goines allegedly fabricated evidence.
Goines faces additional charges of engaging in organized criminal activity, tampering with government records, and theft by a public servant.
The case has prompted a broader investigation into the Houston Police Department’s narcotics unit, leading to multiple indictments and the review of thousands of cases.
The trial for Goines is scheduled for June 28, with prosecutors and victims' families seeking justice for the botched raid.
