Carl Goines, 45, of Houston, Texas, was pronounced dead at the scene of a fatal shooting on December 9, 2014.

Investigators linked the case to a separate home invasion that occurred before Goines’ death. Prosecutors charged Goines with capital murder in connection with that home invasion, alleging two people forced their way into a residence to rob the occupants, one occupant was shot and killed during a struggle, and an alleged accomplice later died at a hospital. The lone survivor in the house could not identify the attackers.

Goines maintained he was not involved, saying he had found an injured man on the roadway and taken him to the hospital; an alibi witness placed Goines at their residence during the home invasion. No physical evidence was presented tying him to the scene, and the jury returned a Not Guilty verdict after the defense challenged the state’s case.

Did anyone in Houston in December 2014 recognize either the circumstances of the home invasion or the unknown shooter involved in Goines’ fatal argument?
