The budding criminal career of a Florida man ended prematurely this week after a man received notification from his home alarm security company that there was a burglary in progress at his Jacksonville area home.
24-year-old Xavier Houston got the surprise of his young life when the armed owner showed up and blew him right out of his baggy pants, sparing Florida taxpayers from the cost of feeding and housing him as well as saved untold future victims of this criminal super predator.
Ironically, Mr. Houston’s mother was a police officer and despite her law enforcement career, couldn’t prevent the dearly departed gangsta from straying from the straight and narrow path.

Man police say broke into home had long criminal history, records show
A man shot Wednesday morning after police say he broke into a home on Jacksonville’s Westside is the son of a female Jacksonville police officer, News4Jax has learned.
Xavier Houston, 24, was shot and killed at a home on Park Street after he and another man broke into the home and the resident, who was alerted by the alarm company, returned to the house and confronted them, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
Police said that for now, they are treating the shooting as a justifiable homicide.
News4Jax found a lengthy criminal history for Houston, including arrests for burglary, aggravated battery, stalking, cyber-stalking and four arrests for domestic battery.
A friend of Houston said he was trying to turn his life around.
“That ain’t his M.O. That’s just someone he was with,” said the friend, who asked not to be identified. “That’s just the law of the land I guess, being around people that over-influence you to do something you don’t want to do.”
JSO Sgt. Steve Rudlaff said police and the resident were called about 11:42 a.m. Wednesday by the alarm company about a break-in at the home, which is between Lake Shore Boulevard and Lane Avenue.
The resident made it to the house before police arrived, went inside and confronted two men, shooting one of them, Rudlaff said.
he man who was shot, later identified as Houston, died inside a silver four-door car in the home’s carport. It’s unclear if Houston was shot inside the home and made it to the car before he died, or if he was shot in the car, police said.
The second intruder ran from the home, and officers and the JSO helicopter were called in to search for him, but he has not been found yet, police said. He is described as a black man in his 20s, wearing a blue hoodie, dark clothing and gloves.
It was the latest in a rash of home invasions in the Jacksonville area – perhaps some undertaken by the deceased Houston and his buddies – which shows that criminals are becoming increasingly aggressive and emboldened.
Sometimes you just pick the wrong house to rob and this is what happened here. Sucks for the hoodlum but a big positive for society.
