Noah was curled up asleep on a recliner in
his mother’s South Loop town house when relatives found him, a blanket
over his head and blood splattered on his clothes but unharmed.
A
few feet away, the boy’s mother, Nova Henry, and 10-month-old sister lay
in a pool of blood by the front door, slain in a barrage of gunfire.
Noah’s
grandmother, Yolan Henry, said Monday she was waiting for police to
arrive when she asked the 3-year-old boy, “Who hurt mama?”
“He
turned around and looked at me and said, ‘Frederick,’” she testified.
“He repeated, ‘Frederick did it.’ Then he put his finger to his lips and
said, ‘Shhh.’”
Frederick Goings, 40, is on trial in the January
2009 shooting of Nova Henry, Curry’s former girlfriend, and their infant
daughter, Ava Curry-Henry.
