A son executed both of his parents in their home after an argument broke out over his lack of contributions to the family, Connecticut authorities say.

Javian Adams, 25, faces a slew of charges for the alleged killings, including murder with special circumstances, felony murder, and criminal use of a weapon. He also was charged with burglary and larceny for a reported break-in the next day.

The suspect is said to have had a past of domestic violence. Court records show that in December 2024, Adams was charged with assault, strangulation or suffocation, and risk of injury to a child. But a new degree of violence was exhibited on Monday, according to authorities, and a verbal dispute is believed to have played a part in Adams” mental state.

“You don’t pay rent, you don’t pay a bill, you don’t even buy food,” Carlene Williams, 51, could be heard screaming at her son on surveillance footage reviewed by Connecticut NBC affiliate WVIT.

Adams is believed to have replied with a chilling statement: “I don’t care no more. F— what y’all say.”

And it was apparently not an isolated argument. While Adams’ father — 55-year-old Marc Adams — did not live at the home, the suspect often had quarrels with his parents, especially about him allegedly stealing money from his mom, the TV station reported.

The son reportedly shot his mother and father execution-style on Monday night. Prosecutors said Javian Adams shot his mom twice and his dad once in the back of the head before leaving their home in Waterbury, per local CBS affiliate WFSB.

Tuesday morning rolled around, and Javian Adams was not behind bars. At some point, he is believed to have broken into a separate residence.

“I woke up, went out, shined my flashlight into my garage, and he was waving back at me,” the resident of the home told WVIT. “I told him ‘leave’ a bunch of times. He just kept saying, ‘I’m hungry.’ He was super calm, super like passive.”

Javian Adams left and reportedly stole his mother’s white Ford Escape. According to a press release from the Watertown Police Department, officers responded to the area of Lake Winnemaug Road and Sperry Road due to a report of a burglary. It was around here where he was arrested.

The department wrote that morning that he “is potentially involved in an untimely death investigation from the previous night in Waterbury,” which is about 15 minutes away from Watertown. Police suspect he dumped a backpack, sneakers and the vehicle in the area.

Javian Adams is expected to be arraigned in court on Oct. 22. He is being held on a $6 million bond.

A murder with special circumstances charge carries the harshest penalty of any crime in Connecticut — life imprisonment without the possibility of release.
