Goins, 20, did not sign an extradition waiver Friday during arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court, said Wayne Brison, a spokesman for District Attorney Robert Morgenthau.
Goins was arrested Thursday in Brooklyn as a fugitive on a warrant from Virginia, which now must seek his extradition.
The next hearing in the case is scheduled for Dec. 12.
Goins is charged with the Oct. 14 slayings of three children and two adults in an apartment in Gilpin Court.
Daphne Jones, 29, and three of her children, Nicole, 9, David, 4, and Robert, 3, were all shot and killed. Jones' two other children, Tamika, 14, and Kenya, 18 months old, were wounded.
Tamika was pregnant and lost the fetus.
Also killed was James N. Randolph Jr., 35, whom neighbors described as Daphne Jones' boyfriend and the father of her two oldest children.
Authorities have not discussed a motive for the shootings, but relatives said Goins had fathered the baby that Tamika was carrying and that the two had been arguing.
A New York police tactical unit converged on an apartment in Brooklyn's Flatbush neighborhood early Thursday and arrested Goins and his girlfriend, Monique Michelle Littlejohn.
A nationwide search for the two was narrowed to New York as a result of leads Goins' acquaintances provided to police in Richmond.
Littlejohn was charged with forging drug prescriptions and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
She also refused to waive her right to a hearing on whether she should be extradited to Virginia. Authorities do not believe she had a role in the killings.
Her case was adjourned until Dec. 15.
