Details Begin to Emerge Surrounding Lorenzen Wright's Death

Filed under: Grizzlies, NBA Police Blotter

Some details are beginning to emerge regarding the death of former NBA player Lorenzen Wright.



The police have ruled Wright's death a homicide by gunshot, but they have yet to name any suspects in the case. According to The Commercial Appeal in Memphis, there were some warning signs weeks before Wright's murder.



The paper reported that Sherra Robinson Wright -- Lorenzen Wright's ex-wife -- had her home visited in recent weeks by three unknown men who had guns tucked into their waistband. The men wanted to know if her ex-husband, 34-year-old Lorenzen Wright, was home visiting his six children. When Sherra Wright told them no, the three men drove away. After this occurred, Sherra Robinson Wright quickly told her divorce attorney, Gail Mathes, about the encounter.



When Wright left his residence in Atlanta a few weeks later, he was gunned down a day after his flight arrived in Memphis. His body was found on Wednesday afternoon.
