Former first round draft pick for the Los Angeles Lakers, Javaris Crittenton, is being charged with murder during a drive by shooting. As an athletic guard, he found himself on the Lakers, Grizzlies, and Wizards. He infamously became entrenched in the bet that wound up with Gilbert Arenas bringing out his guns in the locker room, with Crittenton making similar threats.
He was briefly with the Bobcats after a stint in the D-League, but had pretty much faded from view. And now his future looks significantly darker.
From WSB-TV in Atlanta: An arrest warrant has been issued for former NBA player and Georgia Tech star Javaris Crittenton in connection with the shooting death of a mother of four, Atlanta police said.
The shooting happened Aug. 19 shortly before 10 p.m. in the 2900 block of Macon Drive in southwest Atlanta.
Investigators said 22-year-old Jullian Jones was walking with others when someone from a dark SUV opened fire. Jones was struck and later died. The report also states that the targets were two unarmed men in the company of the victim and the shooting is believed to be in retaliation for a robbery of Crittenton in April. Sad.
Gilbert Arenas is already deleting Tweets. This is one.
