You might remember the last time your heard of Crittendon, he and Gilbert Arenas were pulling guns on each other in the Washington Wizards’ locker room, which made national headlines and cost both players most of a season. He was drafted in 2007.

The crime was considered an accidental killing as Crittendon allegedly sought to retaliate for being robbed. Jullian Jones, the victim and a mother of three, was shot in the hip and died later during surgery.
