ATLANTA GA Aug 29 2011 — The family of a woman who police said may have been gunned down by a former NBA player is speaking out.
Jullian Jones, 22, was killed last weekend in a drive-by shooting along Macon Drive in Atlanta.
“We didn’t only lose a mother, a friend, or a daughter, or a fiancé, we lost a loved one who was really special to us in our hearts,” June Woods, Jones’ mother, said.
The day of her burial, family members took comfort in the fact that police have named a suspect in the shooting.
That suspect is Georgia native and former NBA basketball player Javaris Crittenton, who is wanted on charges of murder.
Investigators believe he intended to shoot another person who was walking with Jones, in retaliation for a robbery earlier this year.
“If you’re a star player like that, you have enough money to, even if he was robbed, even if that was the case, he had enough money to replace it. You can never put a price on her life,” Harel Butler, Jones’ fiancé, said.
The bullet, instead, hit Jones. Atlanta police said they are working with the FBI to bring Crittenton into custody from Los Angeles where he’s been since the shooting.
“By you coming by here just shooting at an innocent person, you wasted your life. You’ve torn up two families. You tore up your family and my family, and that wasn’t right,” Woods said.
Even though police believe they are closer to an arrest, Butler said it does nothing to ease the pain.
“I don’t know what to say sometimes when my kids ask me when their momma is coming home. Watching them cry. Saying how much they miss her. That’s all that’s running through my mind,” he said.
