CHICAGO — Authorities in Chicago have charged a man with murder in the deaths of the former girlfriend of New York Knicks' player Eddy Curry and her infant daughter.

Cook County State's Attorney spokeswoman Sally Daly says 36-year-old Frederick Goings was charged with two counts of first-degree murder on Sunday.

The bodies of 24-year-old Nova Henry and her 9-month-old daughter, Ava, were found in their Chicago apartment on Jan. 24. Both died of multiple gunshot wounds.

Henry was the mother of ex-Chicago Bulls player Curry's 3-year-old son. The boy was found unharmed at the scene.

A spokesman for the Knicks and Curry declined comment Sunday.

Goings is due in bond court Monday. It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.
