Police say Goff shot and killed a person during a robbery in Dallas in February.
Police say Goff is suspected of robbing a midtown Tulsa Daylight Donuts earlier in the day Wednesday.
Goff allegedly pointed a gun at a customer's child inside the donut shop before leaping over the counter and taking money from the cash register.

Goff is also accused of robbing a Subway near 58th and Lewis.
Police said witnesses spotted the suspect’s vehicle and police were able to track it down. A short police chase ensued until Goff’s car blew out its engine near Riverside. Police took him into custody.
According to court documents, Goff had multiple previous robbery convictions as a youthful offender in Tulsa.
However, the Tulsa County District Attorney’s office said a judge overturned them, against prosecutors strenuous objections.
He was allowed to walk free, and now is accused of committing the crimes in Dallas and Tulsa.
