The Lorenzen Wright story continues to unravel. According to recent reports, the former NBA baller's death is currently being investigated as a homicide. More deets when you read on... After being found dead two days ago, the Shelby County medical examiner reported Wright died of a gunshot wound.
Wright is said to have disappeared after being dropped off at ex-wife, Sherra Wright's Memphis home by an unnamed woman, and then leaving her home in the middle of the night with someone, July 19th around 2 a.m.
Police said a 911 call was placed from Lorenzen Wright's phone early in the morning, July 19th.
Sherra Wright also admitted she kept quiet about a visit from three armed men who showed up at her home looking for Lorenzen six weeks prior to the shooting. Her lawyer, Gail Mathes said the men threatened Sherra and her family if she mentioned the visit.
Court documents showed that in 2008, Wright sold two luxury vehicles, a Mercedes Sedan and a Cadillac SUV to Bobby Cole, who was indicted in 2007 for drug distribution charges. Cole has been linked to an organization run by Craig Pettes, who was charged for racketeering and conspiracy in six murders.
Also in 2008, Bobby Cole agreed to turn over a 2007 Cadillac Escalade SUV and a 2008 Mercedes Benz S63 to the Drug Enforcement Administration. Both vehicles later showed to be registered to Lorenzen Wright and his company Allwright Automotive LLC, but Wright said he did not know the vehicles were used in a crime. In 2010, both vehicles were forfeited and the case was closed in favor of the government.
