Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas were the victims.
There was a federal bond hearing for former Houston Police Officer Gerald Goines last week after his arrest on 20 November, 2019.
In the hearing for Goines, FBI special agent O'Neil Brown testified about more evidence found in Goines' official, but unmarked Houston Police Department car. From click2houston.com:
Brown’s testimony brought forward new revelations about the investigation into Goines’ alleged activities. He testified that Goines was involved in a sexual relationship with one of his confidential informants. This same confidential informant told investigators the drugs Goines said were purchased from 7815 Harding Street came from a different address — one unrelated to Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas, Brown testified. Brown also said investigators discovered a stolen gun in Goines’ unmarked HPD unit and various illegal drugs, including cocaine, and ecstasy.
It appears former officer Goines had more illegal drugs and illegal guns in his car than their victims, the Tuttles had. They had only a small amount of marijuana, and a small amount of cocaine discovered in their modest home, where they had lived quiet lives for the last 20 years since they had married.
Dennis Tuttle, 59, was a medically retired Navy veteran. Rhogena Nicholas, 58, his wife, a devout Christian who emailed a prayer to her mother every day. Both were killed in the no-knock raid at their 7815 Harding Street Houston residence. based on lies from a neighbor across the street and the false “evidence” by former officer Goines to obtain the warrant.
Goines, his partner Steven M. Bryant, 46, and the neighbor, Patricia Ann Garcia, 53, were arrested on federal warrants after an FBI investigation prompted by the raid and double homicide.

Very bad wormy rotten apple.
If you took away illegal drugs and guns that the police planted on the Tuttles, the Tuttles would have not had any illegal guns or drugs.
They will still have the jackboot lickers to defend them, though.
I agree!
I know, we have plenty of dirty cops here in NY to be mindful of.
A throw down gun and drugs to plant on targeted people?
Let’s not play the naifs and act shocked.
It is shocking they were caught!
