An ex-Houston police officer has surrendered on Friday afternoon after being accused of lying in a search warrant and killing a couple during a drug raid.
Gerald Goines was charged with two counts of felony murder in connection to the January 28 raid that killed Rhogena Nicholas, 58 and Dennis Tuttle, 59, who lived in the house and injured five officers.
Another ex-officer was charged with tampering with a government record for allegedly providing false information supporting Goines' story about a fake confidential informant.
"I want to tell how sorry we are as a city and a county for the actions that resulted in the loss of their loved ones' lives and that our work is dedicated to ensuring that their loved ones receive justice," Harris County DA Kim Ogg said to the victims' families.
