Javaris Crittenton charged with homicide

When he saw the person he believed robbed him, a former NBA player and Georgia Tech standout fired gunshots from a black SUV, striking a 23-year-old mother of four, Atlanta police said.

Now, Javaris Crittenton, 23, faces a homicide charge in the death of Jullian Jones, authorities said Friday night.

“It appears Mr. Crittenton observed who he thought was the perpetrator walking down the street," Major Keith Meadows told the AJC. "It so happens Miss Jones was walking down the street at the same time."

Jones was walking with others near her Macon Drive home in southwest Atlanta around 10 p.m. Aug. 19 when she was shot, police said. Several witnesses told police the shots were fired from a black Chevrolet Tahoe.

Jones was struck in the leg and later died during surgery. Two men walking with Jones fled and were not injured, and investigators now believe one of those men was the intended target.

Investigators believe Crittenton may have been seeking retaliation after being robbed of his jewelry April 21, Meadows said. Crittenton reported that crime to police.

Was just about to post the same article.

I think it's safe to say he has no future in the NBA.

On his Twitter account, Arenas reacted to the news of the warrant by stating, "Told u that guy's crazy! Can I have my guns back now?"

Crittenton still wants to have a one-on-one shooting match with Gilbert. :lol:

He should have just approached that man and punched.

You probably wouldn't say that easily if you lived the life he lived.
I mean you gave up being a decent human when you opted to stay Canadian, so who are you to talk.

No, you are very very misinformed about my life. In fact, I've had plenty of chances to go bad and wrong just like him. I could have gone a drunken bum and rely on good ole liquor like benji. Or I could have gone mental and kill myself like Lamrock wants to. Or I could have gone and become a thug/JAE and shoot a few annoying Pinoys around me. But I didn't. Because I stayed true to myself.

I'd relatives in Canada which prefered dying over living in Canada any longer. Well actually only my grand uncle died at the age of 85 but I swear he'd lived longer if he left Toronto earlier... :P

Shadow was just being redundant. Disgusting and Canadian mean the same thing.

It's like "journalist" and "subhuman" for example. Only Canadians are still at least somewhat human. Even if they're stuck in the 12th century yet.

Shame on you, formyhunny. :shake:

I can't believe you even succumbed to benji's bash on Canadians. If you look closely he was sober and stats-less!

Lawyer: Crittenton to surrender on murder warrant

Former NBA player Javaris Crittenton, who was suspended from the league for having guns in a locker room with teammate Gilbert Arenas, plans to surrender to face a murder charge in a deadly Atlanta shooting, an attorney said Monday.

Crittenton will fly from Los Angeles to Atlanta and should arrive early Tuesday, said lawyer Brian Steel.

“He offered to turn himself in,” Steel told The Associated Press. “He’s not guilty. We look forward to getting it to the courts.”


Seems like the sensible thing to do, innocent or guilty.

At least Crittenton acts just like a man should be.
