Lorenzen Wright’s Ex-Wife Arrested In Connection With His Murder
Sherra Wright Robinson, ex-wife of Lorenzen Wright has been arrested.
Seven years after Lorenzen Wright’s bullet-riddled body was found decomposing in a Tennessee suburb, Sherra Wright Robinson, his ex- wife, was arrested Friday night in Riverside, Calif.
Lorenzen’s mother, Debo- rah Marion said police con- firmed the arrest to her. She got a call from Memphis police and went with her family to police headquarters. Marion says a police official told her Sherra will be charged with first-degree murder.
Billy Turner — a deacon at the church Lorenzen and Sherra Wright attended — was arrested and charged with first-degree murder on Tuesday. He pleaded not guilty.
Wright, who was 34 when he died, played for the Cleveland Cavaliers and LA Clippers among other teams, was last seen alive on July 18, 2010, as he left his ex-wife’s home.
Wright flew from Atlanta to Memphis to visit friends and his six children, friends said.
According to sources, a 9-1-1 call was made from Wright’s cell phone on July 19. A fire dis- patcher could hear the loud blasts of several gunshots. The cellphone call ended at that point.
Later it was learned that dis- patchers didn’t alert patrol offi- cers or commanders because they couldn’t confirm it came from their jurisdiction. They didn’t send a patrol officer or relay the information to Mem- phis police until days later.

Maame Biney wins women’s 500-meter during the U.S. Olympic short track speedskating trials Dec. 16, 2017, in Kearns, Utah.
On Saturday, Maame Bine, 17, became the first African American woman to qualify for the U.S. Winter Olympics in speedskating, with two victories in the 500 meters.

Olympic team.
Male skater, Shani Davis

In the first 500 final at the short track trials on Saturday, she beat Olympians Lana Gehring, Jessica Koore- man and Katherine Reut- ter-Adamek handily.
LeBron James Promotes 'Equality'
Message With D.C. Sneaker Choice
His Stalking Case
bizarre catfishing
The
stalking story involving Ray Allen is seemingly coming close to an end.
A source reported on Fri- day that the man who filed for a restraining order against Allen, Bryant K. Coleman, has dropped his case.
“We are pleased Coleman voluntarily dismissed the in- junction and false claims he made against Ray Allen,” Allen’s attorney stated.
“Ray has never met Cole- man, has never spoken with him or threatened him in any way. He wants nothing to do with him and is looking for- ward to putting this matter be- hind him.”
Word of the bizarre case came out last month. Allen says that Coleman posed as multiple women and was able to obtain personal information
RAY ALLEN
by catfishing him. He says Coleman then posted a lot of that sensitive information on social media and tagged his family members. Allen got Coleman to sign a confiden- tiality agreement, which al- legedly was violated. Allen was trying to get it enforced, which resulted in Coleman filing for the temporary re- straining order under the ap- pearance that he is being stalked.
The last time the Cleveland Cavaliers played at Capital One Arena, LeBron James left a lasting impression by scoring 57 points against the Washington Wizards. On Sun- day, James made an impres- sion as soon as he stepped on the floor.
James wore one black sneaker and one white sneaker, with both featuring the word "EQUALITY" stitched in gold across the back
of the shoe, in an apparent ode to racial harmony.
The look was hard to miss, with James and the Cavs wearing all-white uniforms that contrasted with the Wiz- ards' navy blue uniforms.
