Charges Made In Deaths Of Eddy Curry’s Ex-Girlfriend & Daughter

A 36-year-old attorney fatally shot the former girlfriend and infant daughter of New York Knicks player Eddy Curry during a domestic-related dispute, according to police and published reports.

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

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

It was not immediately clear 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 her 9-month-old daughter, Ava, were found in their Chicago apartment on Jan. 24. Both died of multiple gunshot wounds.

Henry also was the mother of ex-Chicago Bulls player Curry’s 3-year-old son, who was found unharmed at the scene.

Court records show that Goings was Henry’s attorney in a paternity case with Curry involving Ava.

According to the Chicago Tribune, records show that DNA tests confirmed Ava was Curry’s daughter. Curry, through Knicks spokesman Jonathan Supranowitz, declined comment. Messages left Sunday for his attorney were not immediately returned.

Police said Goings and Henry had “a relationship” and the motive for the shooting 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.

    Dude look like a doped up Dame!

  • 2-23-2009 6:53 pm

    R.I.P. Nova Henry and her 9-month-old daughter Ava keep ya head up Eddy Curry. Prayer go up my nigga!

    Ok! see that’s why Women have to be Careful of the suckaz they f**k with… seems to me this was personal… he helps her with her case Vs Curry then in return they start seeing each other so i understand the logic behind that move,She’Thinking to her self “up and comming atourney he got money, financial stability”; when Curry and I are over… the only thing is now you andcurry still have a bond, its called children, the parents of yall children, and a classic case of a new guy comming in the picture and being insecure of him self, and his swagg, with no confidence having self, ego get to trippin, start wiggin out and start false acusing women of doing things they’re are not doing… Nova Henry was probly working things out with Ed Curry and was going to make that move and get back with him, both where in there early 20’s and when you’re that young you make alot of mistakes, but ya grow and learn and move on. buy Fredrick Goings being 36 years old, he knew better getting involved with a younger women, thats young and still indeciceive, but thats no reason to kill her and her daughter.

    i hope the guys in the system make him there b***h in prison, dont kill him tourture his ass and watch him kill him self…

    Dame Dash did it????????

  • 2-23-2009 6:04 pm

    lol @ the dame comment…

    but smh @ the whole damn situation. im glad they locked this fag up.

    may the souls of nova and ava live on. may they rest in peace.

    being from the chi, i find s**t like this disturbing. ive heard many females tell me about niggas that threaten them and stuff like that and i always tell them im one call away. i buy bullets just for b***h ass niggas. that was a b***h made move. im sure the niggas on the “new” will take good care of this b***h ass nigga. one thing men hate is a man that does harm against a child. i hope the super sissys in divison 5 butt f**k him until he bleed to death.

    and if he gets lucky enough to get a bail- hes a walking dead man, he will NEVER see trial. GOOOOOOOOOON SQUAAAAAAAAAD!

    I would put that b!tch made dude in a room with big Eddy Curry for 1 hour alone….and let Curry let out some frustration on this dude chin

  • 2-23-2009 3:09 pm

    It is bad enough that he had to kill the woman but what in the world had the baby done to him. You have to be very careful of whom you date or deal with. People are nuts.
