On the day of the botched Harding Street raid, Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas’ dog Star was dead just 18 seconds after narcotics officers arrived at the scene.
That’s just one part of the testimony during day seven of the murder trial of former Houston police officer Gerald Goines.
After a Houston homicide detective finished up three days of testimony on the stand, prosecutors called up Texas Ranger Jeff Wolf, who the District Attorney’s office asked to reconstruct the botched raid.

Wolf walked jurors through the layout of the home and 3D renderings. He then used various body-worn and surveillance cameras to show a timeline of the shooting.
In that testimony, Wolf showed that the first narcotics officer’s feet hit the ground on Harding Street at 5:27 p.m. on Jan. 28, 2019.
Just 18 seconds later, the front door to 7815 Harding Street would be breached, and the first shot fired.
Wolf testified that he believes Officer Lovings fired the first shot, hitting the couple’s dog, Star.
