Chicago police have made an arrest in the murder of Nova Henry, the mother of Knicks center Eddy Curry's son, and her 10-month-old daughter, both killed last month. While police have not identified the arrestee, it was previously reported that Henry had a restraining order against ex-boyfriend Frederick Goings after he had choked her and threatened to shoot one of her relatives. Henry's mother told reporters, "I always had a feeling it was him. He told me that was what he was going to do. I never thought he would." The Chicago Sun-Times had broken news a few weeks back that sealed court paternity tests showed that Curry was not only the father of Henry's three-old-son Noah who witnessed the shooting, but also of Ava, the infant who was murdered. But in (another) strange twist in this case—not to mention an incredibly tumultuous period for Curry—the paper seems to have gone back to only alluding to one shared child between the two, despite no clear indication of a retraction.
Arrest Made For Murder of Eddy Curry's Ex And Her Baby
Curry Asked Knicks to Spot Him $8 Mil As Kids Got Costly
As Eddy Curry was in Chicago preparing to attend a private viewing of girlfriend Nova Henry and 9-month-old daughter Ava, back in New York, information from inside the Knicks organization was leaked that signals Curry has been having tougher times than most were aware of. A source tells the News that last year Curry unsuccessfully attempted to get an $8 million advance from the team on the remaining $22 million he will be paid for the last two years of his contract. Curry's child support payments more than doubled last year after the birth of Ava, his second child with Henry. Curry also has four children with his wife Patrice. A person close to Curry told the News, "He's been irresponsible with his money. He's a nice guy with a big heart and people have taken advantage of him. (As an 18-year-old pro), he started buying cars, jewelry and anything else you can think of." A Knicks spokesman had no comment on why Curry would not be attending the funeral for Henry and Ava, later in the day today.
Eddy Curry Was the Father of Murdered Infant
New reports coming out of Chicago indicate that Knicks center Eddy Curry is entrenched even deeper into the tragic double murder of his ex-girlfriend Nova Henry and her 10-month-old infant Ava. The Chicago Sun-Times reported last night that DNA tests had determined that Curry was Ava's father. A spokesman for the Henry family told the press, “The family never had a doubt of who the father is.”
