SUMMARY: Former Houston police officer Gerald Goines has been convicted of felony murder for his role in the 2019 deaths of Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas during a failed drug raid. The couple was killed when officers, allegedly acting on false information provided by Goines, executed a “no-knock” warrant at their home. Goines was also found guilty of tampering with a government document for providing misleading details to obtain the warrant. Testimony revealed that the police fired first when entering, prompting Tuttle to respond defensively. Goines will face sentencing at a later date.

Police in small Mississippi city discriminate against Black residents, Justice Department finds
SUMMARY: A Justice Department report revealed that the Lexington Police Department in a predominantly Black Mississippi city engages in racial discrimination, excessive force, and retaliation against critics. The investigation found a “persistent pattern” of unconstitutional conduct, including unjustified arrests and a lack of internal accountability. Officers reportedly used Tasers excessively, with one instance involving a Black man shocked 18 times. The department imposes fines for minor offenses and unlawfully detains individuals unable to pay. Attorney General Merrick Garland emphasized that these practices undermine the trust between police and the community. Police Chief Charles Henderson could not be reached for comment.
