During the robbery attempt of the Brinks truck at Chase Bank on Willis Tuesday Javahnte Jawun Parker, 27 of Houston was shot and killed by the armored car driver. Another suspect fled the scene and was the subject of a multi-agency search all of Tuesday afternoon. The vehicle at the scene was registered to Parker but the plates were from a Jeep in Houston. Parker is well known to the Harris County Court system. In October and December of 2009, he was charged with theft and given deferred probation which ended on March 8, 2011. However, in February 2011 he was charged with robbery with a handgun and again given probation in May of 2011. That was said to have been completed satisfactorily and ended on May 13, 2015. But then in November of 2015, he was charged with theft from a person with bodily injury. The Harris County District Attorneys Office dropped the charge from a second-degree felony to a State Jail Felony and he was sentenced to 8-months in State Jail by Harris County Judge Katherine Cabiniss in the 248th District Court in April of 2016. The day after Christmas in 2015 while out on bond he was charged with obstructing a US 59 by walking in the main lanes of the freeway. He was given 8-days in jail. Then in March of 2017, he was charged with interfering with public duty of a public servant. This charge stemmed from a traffic stop where he refused the officer’s commands, cussed the officer and then started throwing his body around inside the patrol car. The case was dismissed in Harris County Court 9. Then on October 7, 2017, he was involved in a crash and left the scene but it was dismissed in County Court #7 6 days later. Then on March 18, 2018, he burglarized a home in the 5900 block of Val Verde Street in Houston. A neighbor watched Parker break out a window, go through it and then start throwing rifles out the front door. When Parker saw that he was being watched he ran to a white pickup and sped off down the road. But he didn’t go far. He made a U-turn, came back ran back to the house and grabbed the rifle he left at the front door, carrying it to the truck he then left with the neighbor still watching. Police found the vehicle had been registered to Parker’s mother, and the vehicle had been involved in several other incidents. On March 15, 2019, the Harris County District Attorney reduced the charge. With that Harris County District 184 Judge Abigail Anastasio gave Parker 4-years deferred probation on May 9, 2019. Just 194 days later he attempted to rob the Brinks truck and was shot and killed.
