Jewelry robbery linked to ex-NBA player, shooting

Published November 20, 2014

New details are emerging about an NBA player charged in the shooting death of an Atlanta woman.

A report obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press said Javaris Crittenton was robbed of $55,000 worth of jewelry in April. Authorities say Crittenton was retaliating when he shot Jullian Jones on Aug. 19, but they say she was not the intended target. Police have not said who they think Crittenton was after.

Jones' neighbor Trontavious Stephens says he was with Jones when she was shot, but he doesn't know why they were targeted.

Crittenton was arrested Monday at a Southern California airport. Crittenton's attorney says his client will be exonerated.

In April, Crittenton told police he was leaving a barber shop when he was robbed of his diamond necklace and watch.
