DA’s investigator confirms murder charge being reviewed
The 97th District Attorney’s investigator is working closely with the Nocona Police Department looking into a possible murder charge for a Richie Romine who entered the Nocona Senior Citizens Center earlier this month threatening robbery for the folks there to play bingo.
That murder charge could be made in the death of Carla Kay Hodges Carter, 64, Nocona, who experienced what police believe was a cardiac event. Carter died Oct. 16 at United Regional Hospital in Wichita Falls.
The robbery occurred at the monthly bingo game at The Carpenter Shop, 400 Boston in Nocona where about 24 people gathered to enjoy a fun evening. About 8:30 on Oct. 8, Romine, 35, reportedly entered the center and told the group to hand over their money or he was going to kill them.
Investigator Wes Wallace confirmed the district attorney’s staff is working with local police on this case which has an abundance of information to review as there were statements obtained from 23 people, along with forensic evidence. A specific cause of death for Carter also is being examined.
