Ex-Houston Police Department officer Gerald Goines had an apparent medical episode in his chair during closing remarks of the sentencing phase of his murder trial.

As a result, the trial has been delayed for the day.

The jury was quickly escorted out of the room as Goines was taken away. An ambulance arrived at the courthouse and waited outside, and Goines was brought out of the courthouse on a gurney and put into the ambulance.

The jury was supposed to hear closing arguments before deciding the severity of Goines’s sentence after he was convicted on two counts of felony murder in connection to the Harding Street raid.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
