Charges in deaths of Curry ex-girlfriend and baby

Authorities allege a 36-year-old attorney fatally shot the former girlfriend and infant daughter of New York Knicks' player Eddy Curry after a dispute in a "domestic related" incident.

Fredrick Goings of Chicago was charged with two counts of first-degree murder on Sunday, according to Cook County State's Attorney spokeswoman Sally Daly.

Police said Goings was arrested Friday evening as he was getting into his car outside a relative's place in Chicago. Goings had not made any statements to authorities and was not cooperating in the investigation, according to Lt. Denis Walsh.

It was immediately unclear who was representing Goings. A message left at his Chicago law office Sunday was not returned. Goings was due in bond court on Monday.

The bodies of 24-year-old Nova Henry and 9-month-old daughter, Ava, were found in their Chicago apartment on the evening of Jan. 24. Both died of multiple gunshot wounds.

Henry was also the mother of ex-Chicago Bulls player Curry's 3-year-old son. The boy was found unharmed at the scene.

Court records show Goings was Henry's attorney in a paternity case with Curry over Ava.

According to the Chicago Tribune, records show DNA tests confirmed Ava was the ex-Chicago Bulls player's child. Messages left for Curry's attorney were not immediately returned Sunday.

Police said Goings and Henry had "a relationship" and the motive was "domestic related" but declined to elaborate.

According to police, Nova Henry let Goings into the apartment on Jan. 24 and the two quarreled.

"What happened inside that apartment will have to come out at a later date," Walsh told reporters Sunday. "There obviously was an argument."

Police said surveillance images and other evidence linked Goings to the case, but authorities declined to give details.

Goings has been practicing law since April 2005, according to state records.

Knicks spokesman Jonathan Supranowitz said Sunday that Curry declined to comment.

Curry has been communicating with authorities.

"We have been in contact with Mr. Curry," Walsh said. "He has been helpful."
