Ex-wife of slain NBA player Lorenzen Wright arrested in connection with his death
The ex-wife of slain former NBA player Lorenzen Wright has been arrested in California in connection with his death, according to a report by The Memphis Commercial Appeal.
Wright was murdered in Memphis in 2010 in a case that went unsolved for years. But on Dec. 5, police arrested a Memphis man, 46-year-old Billy Turner and charged him with first-degree murder in the case.
Now, Sherra Wright-Robinson has been arrested in California in connection with the death, according to the report. Turner was a deacon at the same church Wright-Robinson attended in Memphis.
Wright's body was found in suburban Memphis on July 28, 2010, 10 days after the 34-year-old was reported missing. He was shot multiple times. The seven-year investigation into his death has been one of the Memphis Police Department's most high-profile unsolved cases.
The 6-foot-11 Wright averaged eight points and more than six rebounds per game during his career. Born and raised in Memphis, he was a fan favorite thanks to his charity work with youth and his father's involvement as a coach in summer leagues. Former NBA players and friends, including Anfernee Hardaway and Elliot Perry, attended a memorial service for Wright in the days after his body was found.
