The 28-year-old man accused in the shooting death of 17-year-old Lashonda Childs has now been charged with murder.
Trendell Goodwin was originally arrested and charged with felonious assault. New charges were approved against him Thursday, including two counts of murder.
Childs had a protection order against Goodwin. Police were called out on reports of a violation on Tuesday, and a short time
later, found out she had been taken to the hospital. Just days before her 18th birthday, she died from her injuries.
“She was getting ready to graduate, she was getting ready to be 18 tomorrow,” Childs brother, Jaylon Childs, said. “We had things planned out, but now we are doing a candle light vigil. So it’s real sad.”
