Members of a Harris County grand jury on Wednesday visited the south Houston home at the center of a 2019 narcotics raid that left two residents dead and the Houston Police Department mired in scandal after the officer behind the operation was accused of lying to obtain a warrant.
The black shuttle bus arrived at 10:11 a.m. at 7815 Harding St., stopping at a long white covered walkway that had been set up to protect the identity of the grand jurors probing the incident. The visit marks the first public indication that local grand jurors have begun investigating the case. In August, Harris County prosecutors charged former narcotics officer Gerald Goines with murder, and charged his partner, Steven Bryant, with tampering with a government record.
Goines, a veteran narcotics officer, launched the no-knock raid on the home on Jan. 28, 2019 with other members of Narcotics Squad 15 looking for heroin. Homeowners Rhogena Nicholas and Dennis Tuttle died in the operation. Five officers were injured.
