Update: Curry’s Son Implicates Boyfriend in Killings

According to the New York Daily News, Eddie Curry’s son, Noah Curry, is telling relatives, “Fred did it.” Fred is Frederick Goings, the boyfriend of Curry’s babies’ mother, Nova Henry. Goings has already been questioned by the police and has a history of abusing Henry. The Chicago Sun Times is also reporting that DNA results have proven the slain baby, nine month Ava Henry, was Eddie Curry’s child as well.

What’s up with all these people killing children?

Update: Family Implicates Ex-Boyfriend

The New York Daily News reports that Noah Curry, Eddie Curry’s 3-year-old son was covered in blood when Chicago cops found him. The Daily News also reports that police are questioning Fredrick Goings, an ex-boyfriend of Nova Henry. Henry’s relatives have said that Goings was a violent stalker with anger problems and that she had a restraining order on him in 2006.

A woman found shot to death in a Chicago apartment was a former girlfriend of New York Knicks player Eddy Curry and the mother of his 3-year-old son, Curry’s attorney said Sunday.

A relative found the bodies of Nova Henry, 24, and her 9-month-old daughter, Ava, in their apartment near the South Side on Saturday evening, Chicago police spokeswoman Monique Bond said. Both died from multiple gunshot wounds, the Cook County medical examiner’s office said Sunday.

Curry’s 3-year-old son was found unharmed at the scene. Curry is a former player for the Chicago Bulls.

Chicago police offered few details of the investigation at a news conference Sunday.

Deputy Superintendent Steve Peterson said police want to talk to someone who was “the object of an order of protection” but that person has not been located yet.

He declined to give further information.

Rob Bryant, who said he was Nova Henry’s uncle, told the Chicago Sun-Times that Henry had a restraining order against her boyfriend. “She was trying to avoid all this,” Bryant said.

Curry’s attorney, Kelly Saindon, said the basketball player’s family was devastated.

The Knicks issued a statement Sunday on Curry’s behalf asking the media to respect the privacy of the two families.

“The Curry family is deeply saddened by this tragic loss and will keep the Henry family in their prayers,” the statement said.

The city recently has seen several high-profile deaths blamed on domestic violence. A brother-in-law of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges he fatally shot Hudson’s mother, brother and nephew. Prosecutors allege William Balfour killed them in October because he was upset the actress’s sister had been dating another man.

Curry was previously involved in a gay-sexual harassment lawsuit from a former driver

    As long as the media continues to perpetuate that taking a gun and shooting someone is the cool thing to do, or that it has no consequences, this will never let up. My prayers go out to the families affected by this tragedy.

    When I heard this story I cried like a baby….for so many reasons…One….the world has gone crazy and there is no fear of killing, no remorse..nothing…Two….a little boy will be traumatized and will have to live with this nightmare for the rest of his life…he’s old enough to remember EVERYTHING…and Three….he is without a mother. My prayers for the family

    Ok first off this is a tragedy, that a people were killed especially a child. But honestly people, why are u asking whats wrong wit the world as of today? Murder was one of the first acts a man ever commited against another man. Do not blame todays society on this. Blame human nature and the history of our society. Although it is a tragedy, murder is nothing new and shows that it can affect the richest king to the poorest peasant.

    Wow I did not know this happened until today. I went to school with both nova and ed at thornwod. My prayers are with her family and close friends. Lets keep the peace y’all. Too much domestic violence going on. Put the guns down and just talk about it. I love someone you wouldn’t hurt them.

    To the dude below who said, “As long as the media continues to perpetuate that taking a gun and shooting someone is the cool thing to do, or that it has no consequences, this will never let up.” Blaming the media 4 this is a cop out and stupid. These people were not shot because someone thought it’s cool to have a gun. This is part of the evil that man s capable of. Jenifer Hudson’s family wasn’t murdered b/c of a desire to look cool…It was a case of revenge. The south side isn’t filled with violence from the media it is a social problem that needs to be corrected. We all share the same media but why is it that some neighborhoods are more inclined to have victims of violence. Responsibility will help to avoid things like this. Blaming the media for poor judgment and evil actions just adds to the problem. My cuzin was murdered in Chatham riding his bike and it had nothing 2 do with television or music. I don’t blame ppl like 50 cent or 2pac I blame the dude who shot him in cold blood. Responsibility…it could save a life…literally

    WORDS OF WISDOM) Love is life over vain existence.Good is God overseeing our decisions. Bad means bringing about deception. a misrepresentation of our conception.In each of these words there is an acronym touch, which gives you the true meaning of words as such. See in the beginning the word was with GOD and in his words lies a steel rod.

    Bill Cosby wrote a book that says< Come on people. We need not blame no one but ourselves for the violence. Behaviors are learned and vice are versa. The more we teach our kids to stay in school and become educated the less crime we will see for they will be to addicted to the good life and paying bills and being RESPONSIBLE and this is what life is all about.

    no doubt this is very sad, but its funny to see how we Americans are so sheltered. The world is corrupt to an extent we never feel. in third world countries this is a minor thing, in some places entire villages and towns and entire races of people are being treated with the same brutality as this but on a much grander scale. People these days have no feelings for their fellow man or their fellow mans child. Sad indeed but b4 we complain about how bad or streets are watch HLN every now and then and see te bigger picture, IRAQ ,IRAN,the U.S.A.’s violence all fueled by the hatred that people have of themselves.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/igtcu/ igtcu

    I hate to sound desensitized but this happens way more often than is thought in black communities. Why is it only a big deal when it’s the family of an NBA player like Curry or a famous singer like J Hudson?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/igtcu/ igtcu

    And if I’m right, I think that the south side of Chicago isn’t exactly a good area. The city of Chicago period just dosent seem to be all that safe. What is up with these people who get famous, leave their immediate families in the same hoods and ghetto’s they grow up in, and then wonder why bad things happen? It’s common sense. YOU are rich. The people in the community are BROKE. Leaving your family in that enviroment just paints a target over their head. Instead of blowing your money on cars, cribs for yourself and expensive shoes and makeup, why don’t you GET YOUR FAMILIES OUT OF THOSE DAMN GHETTOS. I know you can’t take the whole family out but damn..Your mom? Your kids? Your sibblings? I hate to sound mean but its just really hard for me to make sense out of this.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/whathurtzthamost/ whathurtzthamost

    IGTCU, u are right my thoughts was the same if you had to rent or buy it does not matter get them out of harms way. but to him i guess she was another baby momma,but to me these chicks in love with those psycho’s will move them with them no matter what. but if she had order of protection he could have got her to safty no doubt, his child life is in jeopardy as well

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_bookoo_tweaks_/ _bookoo_tweaks_

    Why should Curry pay to move his EX to a better neighborhood? He isn’t with her anymore and most likely she would’ve just brought her old trash with her to the new place. Moving doesn’t solve issues like these – it’s the mentalities that need to change.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_bookoo_tweaks_/ _bookoo_tweaks_

    Also this crime and that of the Hudson family didn’t have anything to do with poor people robbing rich people. It was about revenge and/or jealousy. If that baby girl was the killer’s daughter, he might have used that as a reason to keep hanging around.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/babymama1606/ babymama1606

    IGTCU, shouldn’t say if they rich they should move them out the ghetto. Someone people get rich and their mom just don’t want to move because they been living their so long they use to the environment. When I get my degree and make alot of money I will love to move my parents out the neighborhood they in, but they ain’t going to move because my dad loves where he stay. Crimes is everywhere you go. If J Hudson or Curry had move them into a better environment the killer still can come to the new place and kill them their too. So it don’t make no different. I just hate when people have to judge people when they get alot of money they have to do this and that. J Hudson just got started so she wouldn’t had enough money to move her mom and family into a better environment.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sugeredbabe/ sugeredbabe

    people are always so quick to blame the victim for being victimized. as for “knowing” a person is a psycho – what do folks walk around with a neon sign on their forehead. sociopaths are very normal acting people. often their own parents don’t realize they are sick in the head. People have some respect for the dead. a little boy has lost his mom and his baby sister. he will never know her touch , her joy at his accomplishments, or have her bake his birthday cake etc. he won’t even remember her face or the way she smelled or how it feels to have tuck him in at night. so while you are busy bashing her give so though to the creep who soul was so dark and selfish that he took a life that was not his to take. and he killed a baby. 9mos old – omg!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/pretty-cp/ pretty-cp

    I agree. Many instances of things that happen like this the terror is someone that is trusted and the never expected to do this. On the other hand reports do say that there had been a history of this going on. Sad when people have a controlling spirit and it gets to the point of craziness. Also I agree about that many times even when someone as money, there family (especially if they are elderly) do not want to leave an area they are use to.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/KizzyB25/ KizzyB25

    I just want to know where it says this young woman was living in a bad area? This article clearly says that she had a restraining order on this man back in 06 so maybe she didn’t want this man anymore. dna proved that Curry was the father of the little girl too. To all the people with negative things to say about this young lady is probably capable of committing a crime like this. No one deserves this, especially a child. Words have power people so watch what you say…

It makes me f**king sick to see how far we have fell as a people…..And black people are so f**kin religous…. How can there be a God black people??

    My prayers will go out to the families because no one deserves any of this.especially a 9 month old baby,but we cant blame God for any of this,it’s the devil’s work & everyone has their time to go.Domestic violence can happen to anyone & this guy was a lawyer so obviosly he wasn’t just some guy from the street.Before anyone can judge a situation,we have to knwo about it first.This can happen to anyone whether its middle class or lower class,it happens.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MZTINK2007/ MZTINK2007

    For anyone to blame God is completely ignorant. Children of all races die, for someone to blame it on a particular race is a small minded person. Truly this child was innocent and despite the way she died, she was taken before she had to suffer through the cruelty of this world. My prayers go out to both families. May God have mercy on the guilty.

    This is the saddest story I have read by far. Absolutely unbelievable. How aar these kids being raised. How do they have it in there heart to murder anyone, especially an innocent child. That is truly a sick person, I would be devastated and highly embarassed to know my child committed such a crime. Its desturbing. When I read this article i was speechless, it took me almost 20 min. to comment on it. The world is truly an ugly place. I was in an abusive relationship and I have a restraining order on my that person so I can honestly relate to this selfishness. I recommended the article to my ex and he started attending church. My heart and prayers truly go out to this family. U will never be whole again, i know the feeling! Never give up on god because this was truly the work of the devil. -Mr. fantastic-ga, your are clearly another statistic, for you to get upset with the victim is unbelievably sad. Ladies steer clear of men like this. N once again, god bless!
