Last month's controversial Houston PD drug raid, and the embattled narcotics officer at the center of the bust continued to make headlines Wednesday with three significant developments in the case.

The raid on Jan. 28 started when an undercover HPD narcotics squad burst into a home in southeast Houston armed with a warrant for a suspected heroin dealer. The officers ended up in a gunfight with the couple inside, Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas, who died by returning police gunfire, according to HPD.

Five officers were injured, with four shot in the exchange. Investigators reportedly never found any heroin, and friends and family disputed the couple's involvement in drug dealing.

Later, Houston police announced they were investigating whether narcotics officer Gerald Goines lied on an affidavit used to secure the search warrant used in the raid. The Houston Chronicle also published a report about a history of allegations against Goines, who could ultimately face criminal charges, police say.

Here's what happened on Wednesday:

The Harris County District Attorney's Office announced it was reviewing more than 1,400 criminal cases that Goines worked on during his 34-year career at HPD, including 27 pending cases. "We have an immediate ethical obligation to notify defendants and their lawyers in Goines' other cases to give them an opportunity to independently review any potential defenses," District Attorney Kim Ogg said.

He said Goines insisted on pressing charges against Johnson following a road rage dispute, in which Goines claimed Johnson flashed a gun. No gun was found, and the charge was tossed. Read more...
