Lorenzen Wright found dead near Memphis
ADVERTS 1
Body of Lorenzen Wright found near Memphis
By Trey Kerby
On Monday, we mentioned the mysterious disappearance of former NBA journeyman Lorenzen Wright(notes). The 34-year-old Wright, who last played in the NBA for the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2009, had been missing from his Smyrna, Tenn., home since July 18.
Unfortunately, news broke Wednesday afternoon that Wright's body had been found. From Eyewitness News in Memphis:
Memphis police are investigating the body of a man who was found in Southeast Memphis and a source tells Eyewitness News that is Lorenzen Wright.
According to sources, the body was found in the wooded area of Hacks Cross and Winchester Road. [...] The source has updated Eyewitness News saying, Lorenzen Wright had been shot multiple times and it does not appear to be suicide.
Obviously, nothing will be made official until police completes its investigation, but no matter the official findings, this is terrible. Not only was Lorenzen Wright way, way, way too young to die, he leaves behind six children. Just terrible.
Our condolences and prayers go out to Lorenzen Wright's family.

So more news on the investigation....
Detectives spent several hours at the home of Sherra Wright, including a lengthy search of a backyard grill and fire pit, according to the report. Her neighbors told police they had seen smoke coming from the backyard the night Lorenzen Wright went missing and thought it strange because it was one of the hottest nights of the summer.
Last week, Sherra Wright's lawyer, Gail Mathes, said three armed men looking for Lorenzen Wright showed up to the ex-wife's house about six weeks before he was found shot to death. The men, dressed in sport coats with weapons in view, threatened Sherra Wright and her family if she told anyone about the visit, Mathes said.
