Waterbury Man Charged With Killing Parents Appears in Court

Police say the case follows a documented domestic-violence pattern now in prosecutors’ hands.

Overview

  • Javian Adams, 25, faces charges including murder with special circumstances after his parents were found shot at a Beverly Avenue home late Monday.
  • He was arrested Tuesday in nearby Watertown after a reported burglary and also faces burglary and larceny counts from that incident.
  • A judge set his bond at $5 million during a Wednesday arraignment in Waterbury Superior Court.
  • Autopsies ruled both deaths homicides; investigators reported four shell casings at the scene and believe a 9mm firearm was used.
  • Detectives are examining a possible dispute over money and cite Adams’ significant domestic-violence history, while a vehicle recovered in Middlebury is being processed for evidence.
