A woman found death in a Chicago apartment was a former girlfriend of New York Knicks player Eddy Curry and the mother of his 3-year-old son.A woman was dead because of gun shot.
A relative found the bodies of Nova Henry, 24 years old, and her 9-month-old daughter, Ava, in their apartment near the South Side on Saturday evening, Chicago police spokeswoman Monique Bond said. Both died from multiple gunshot wounds, the Cook County medical examiner's office said Sunday.
Curry's 3-year-old son was found unharmed at the scene. Curry is a former player for the Chicago Bulls.
The Knicks issued a statement Sunday on Curry's behalf asking the media to respect the privacy of the two families.
"The Curry family is deeply saddened by this tragic loss and will keep the Henry family in their prayers," the statement said.
The city recently has seen several high-profile deaths blamed on domestic violence. A brother-in-law of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges he fatally shot Hudson's mother, brother and nephew. Prosecutors allege William Balfour killed them in October because he was upset the actress's sister had been dating another man.
