IOW, did he know who/where she was when he fired or did he fire and she happened to be in the trajectory? It apparently shouldn't have happened either way but I think it makes some degree of difference based on which way it happened.

I think murder is the right term in this case. A death occurring during the commission of a felony is murder. Deprivation of rights under color of law while using a gun is a felony under federal law (18 USC 242).

Former HPD officer Steven Bryant pleads guilty to federal charge related to botched Harding Street raid

HOUSTON — Former Houston police officer Steven Bryant pleaded guilty Tuesday to a federal charge of falsifying records
that interfered with a government investigation. The charge is related to the botched Harding Street Raid on January 28, 2019.
Bryant will be sentenced in August.

Attorney Mike Doyle is representing the Nicholas family. Doyle said the family’s independent investigation revealed
Rhogena Nicholas was killed on her couch after she was shot by an HPD officer through the wall.
He also said Tuttle never shot at officers.

Former Officer Felix Gallegos is also charged with murder. He fired the shot that killed Dennis Tuttle, according to court documents.

HPD set up a tent and crime scene tape.

Looks like more indictments are on the way.

Had the police done an actual investigation, after the call, they would have found the homeowners were 'normal' citizens rather than drug dealers. Instead, the corrupt Narco Squad decided they were guilty before finding any info. Goines supervisors should be punished too, as in, tried along side him for murder. I read some of the previous warrants he created, they are all the same, just a few details changed. As if he created one, the copied and pasted it every time he made out another warrant. If Goines is found guilty in the State and Federal trials, we can only hope his sentences will run consecutively.

July 30, 2019 A botched drug raid led to a wave of leaks. Cops peeking at internal records then found themselves under investigation.

Amid a wave of workplace rumors and leaks to the media over a bungled no-knock drug raid in January, the Houston Police Department
launched an internal probe into dozens of officers for looking up personal information of a narcotics supervisor and another officer
linked to the operation.

You could make the argument that this was potentially no different than "swatting" if it is proven there was no true probable cause.

Goines did not fire the fatal shots that killed the two homeowners. Art doubles down. Going to trial. Not going to accept a plea.
