Man from Springfield indicted for four counts of murder
Case dates back to 2014
A grand jury has reportedly indicted a Springfield man for four counts of murder for a case dating back to the fall of 2014.
Station KY-3 in Springfield reports that Scott Goodwin-Bey was turned over by federal officials to law enforcement in Greene County where he will face 2018 indictment for the shooting deaths of four people at the Economy Inn.
Springfield police detectives are quoted as saying they believe Goodwin-Bey used an illegally-owned gun to shoot Trevor Fantroy, Lewis Green, Danielle Keyes, and Christopher Freeman in November 2014 inside a room at the Economy Inn in Springfield.
One witness reportedly told authorities he played dead during the shooting. Detectives reportedly believe Goodwin-Bey killed them because he thought they would tell police about his drug use.
Greene County prosecutors reportedly charged him with those deaths in February 2015 but a prosecutor dropped the charges in December 2016 after a judge ruled against the ballistics evidence used to tie him to the gun used in the shootings.
