The New York Daily News reports that six days after being reported missing by his mother, Lorenzen Wright’s body was found. He’d been left in a wooded area in Southeast Memphis with five bullet holes in his body (two in his head, two in his chest, and one in his arm, per A&E True Crime), and the killer was nowhere to be found. According to police, Sherra Wright Robinson became a prime suspect immediately, though sufficient evidence to warrant an arrest had yet to be produced. “She was the only one who benefited from him being dead,” Deborah Marion told A&E True Crime in October 2022. “She knew he was really done with her and was moving on with his life. She couldn’t stand it.” Apparently, Robinson received a large injection of insurance money following her ex-husband’s death (around $1 million dollars).

It wasn’t until December 2017 that Robinson was finally arrested for her suspected involvement in Wright’s murder. Billy Ray Turner was also taken into custody, and Jimmie Martin was already in prison for a different crime. Just a month prior, in November of that year, the gun that had been used to kill the former NBA star was found at the bottom of a lake in Walnut, Mississippi, and was linked to Turner, who — it was later discovered — carried out the murder alongside Sherra Wright Robinson (via A&E True Crime).
