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.

They have had the forensics on which bullets wounded and killed whom for a very long time.

It’s only now through the plaintiff’s lawyer we learn all police were wounded by friendly fire. The husband did not fire a shot and the wife did not reach for the officers shotgun, but was murdered while lying on a couch by a policeman outside the home.

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).

I think the whole house of cards fell because a couple of officers were seriously wounded during the execution of the search warrant. That led to the discovery that the warrant was obtained because one of the officers perjured himself. If none of the officers had been wounded, and only the homeowners killed, none of this would have seen the light of day until much later, if ever.

Had Goins not been shot by friendly fire, he would have been able to plant the drugs he had in his car in the house and it would have been big news that evening at 6 pm.

I guess I missed it, but will Goins be standing trial for his involvement in this deadly fiasco?

Goines has been charged with two counts of murder and well as charges of tampering with documents.
He also has been indicted on several Federal charges.
