Javaris Crittenton, Former NBA Guard, Charged with Murder

by at .

Javaris Crittenton, a former standout at Georgia Tech and the Washington Wizards player who got into a gun standoff with Gilbert Arenas in 2009, has been charged with murder.

Police spokesman Carlos Campos tells The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that cops have obtained an warrant for the arrest of Crittenton in relation to the shooting death of 22-year-old Jullian Jones on August 19. At this time, Crittenton is NOT in custody.

Jones was a mother of four who was killed when shots were fired by someone inside a dark SUV, police say. They believe she was in the wrong place at the wrong time and the intended target was a man who robbed Crittenton in April.

"He planned to shoot the person who robbed him and missed," a source tells ESPN.

Police have identified the SUV as a vehicle that Crittenton had rented for a family member and the FBI is involved in the case.

Crittenton averaged 5.3 points and 1.8 assists in 113 NBA games. He last played during the 2008-2009 season, before getting suspended for drawing a gun opposite Arenas in the Washington locker room and pleading guilty to a misdemeanor weapons charge.

    It's very unfortunate that an innocent mother was killed. Javaris is out of control. He couldn't shoot on the basketball court, either.

    You'd think he would be shooting points on the basket court instead of shooting people on the street.
