Easton Goode, 23, from Greenville, Indiana, faces two counts each of murder and criminal recklessness (shooting into an inhabited dwelling) for gunning down his father Kelly Goode (55) and stepfather Bradley Butler (53) in front of his mother. He’s held without bond in Floyd County Jail.
Incident Timeline
- Early Morning (4:45 a.m., Thursday): At the Georgetown-Greenville Road home, mother finds Goode vomiting on his bedroom floor; calls Butler for help.
- First Altercation: Goode turns verbally aggressive downstairs; wrestles with Butler, but they hug it out.
- Escalation: Goode retreats, emerges naked from waist down, covered in feces; second fight with Butler, who bear-hugs him calm in the bedroom.
- Father Called: Mother summons ex-husband Kelly Goode (with his roommate) to take intoxicated son home.
- Shooting (~5:45 a.m.): Goode, gun in hand (.40-cal Taurus from safe), yells “shut up”; shoots Kelly dead as he approaches, then Butler on the couch. Mother grazed by bullet (hole in shirt); roommate flees.
Arrest and Evidence
- Police arrive post-911; no response to commands. At 6:35 a.m., spot naked Goode running inside; breach with flash-bang, arrest him.
- Goode admits to shootings. Victims had apparent gunshot wounds; mother and roommate witnessed.
Legal Status
Pretrial conference April 16; jury trial July 20. Horrific family implosion fueled by intoxication and rage—fights seemed de-escalated until the gun. Bullet near mom shows chaos. Similar to domestic spirals you’ve shared before; thoughts on mental health angles?
