Middletown Police Maj. Scott Reeve said Goodwin is also the suspect in the March 27 robbery of a US Bank at the corner of Breiel and Roosevelt boulevards.
Goodwin was gambling after the two heists when men attempted to rob him of his cash, Reeve said.
“He was shooting dice and they saw his wad of cash and was shot several times,” Reeve told the Journal-News.
Goodwin is now hospitalized.
Detectives plan to take charges from Middletown against Goodwin directly to a Butler County grand jury for consideration, according to Reeve.
