Yes, the same Javaris Crittenton that was involved in the Gilbert Arenas locker room gun scandal, is now wanted on murder charges and has yet to be apprehended by authorities.
Crittenton is wanted for the shooting death of Jullian Jones, a 23-year old mother of four. Authorities don’t believe that Jones was the target but was caught in the line of fire while walking with two men Crittenton was shooting at out of an SUV.
“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.
Crittenton is not in custody and is believed to be in the greater Los Angeles area, Meadows said. Atlanta detectives are working with the FBI to take him into custody.”
