Javorous Darnell Tims, 20
PASCAGOULA A woman, awakened by the sound of someone removing the screen from her bedroom window, got out of her bed at 1 a.m. Friday, walked to her sons room and quietly woke him.
She said, Snigg get up, the son said in an interview later Friday morning.
I got up, grabbed my gun and went to the corner there by her room, he said, standing at the door of the apartment, on the bottom floor of the last in a row of Spanish-style buildings in the Granada Apartments on Chicot Road.
It was dark in the apartment, but the window was backlit, Snigg said. He heard the window go up and saw a man coming in.
He stuck his hand under and pulled the blinds back, the blinds and the curtain, he said. And he eased in like he was attempting to come in.
I fired two shots, then he ran off, Snigg said.
Police say they wont identify the woman or her son, who offered the nickname Snigg, for fear of retribution.
Javorous Darnell Tims, 20, ran about 80 feet from the window, fell to the sidewalk and died of a single gunshot wound, police said Friday.
Pascagoula police said Snigg and his mother acted appropriately, taking the actions they felt necessary to protect themselves. However, because a man died, the case will be presented to a grand jury for review.

The only crime here is that a grand jury is being called to investigate.
I was really surprised that he was black.
I am waiting for a government program to teach would be robbers never break into a home until America has been disarmed.....

Well excuse me, but hold on there Bunky!
When you're named Javorous you are doomed and will face an early death. Thanks 'mom'.
Not to mention the Darwin Award judges. Suicides by stupidity keep these folks very busy.
We live in the south, I assume that most people are armed, it does not scare me, just a fact. My children were taught to shoot at very young ages, they were also taught that if you break into someones house or mess with anyone’s property you will be shot as well.
Javorous is Latin for “unsucessful thug”.
You forgot the Apology Tour.
And Snigg is actually an acronym for
“Stop nightly intruders! Get gun!”
I figured it was how he said Sig as a young child.
Although I imagine that if you were to go to the Grenada apartment complex on Chicot road, asking "Where's 'Snigg' live?", it wouldn't be hard to find him.
One less Democriminal that the People will have to pay the lifetime costs for.
I just hate to hear about that wasted shot, ammo is scarce!
That must be a proud momma!
“If someone is trying to do you harm, be careful when you pull the trigger”
What precautions do you suggest, guess you could evaluate all possibilities and draw an X for the intruder to stand on ... if he is cooperative. On the other hand #1 buck fired into the chest would greatly reduce the chance of collateral damage.
It's good for the shooter. Grand Jury no bills, and he can't ever be charged again because of double jeopardy. Police won't testify against him, the prosecutor won't push it.
Black Americans want to protect their families evey bit as much as any other color people. Or most of them do, just like any other color people. The ones that don’t are the hard core liberals. *they* prefer to help the animals that would rob. rape, torture, mutilate amd kill their families,
Because they are “good” people...with DCVE (Death Camp Victim Envy) How can they be movable if they aren’t being persecuted victims??????
This legal system is twisted beyond repair.
