Lorenzen Wright’s wife and children evicted from home
According to WREG in Tennessee, the wife of slain NBA player Lorenzen Wright, Sherra Wright, was evicted from her Collierville, TN home.
The home is up for foreclosure and will be sold on the courthouse steps later this month.
According to neighbors, Sherra Wright and her 6 children moved into the home that she rented last November. The Wrights also have two other homes that fell into foreclosure, leaving Sherra Wright with a debt of $2.5 million.
Sherra Wright’s attorney, Gail Mathes, says she is moving her kids to live with one of Lorenzen Wright’s parents, Herb Wright, or Deborah Marion in Southeast Memphis.
Mathes says the children, especially the older boys, are having a hard time dealing with the death of their father and the allegations that their mother could be involved.
Mathes says, “They are trying to have privacy. The children are in a lot of pain. The more family support they have, the easier they will have it.”
Sherra Wright has also taken her children out of their school.
Meanwhile, we now know what police were looking for when they conducted a search of the home last weekend.
Court documents show that police searched the home for paperwork on two guns that Wright was believed to own, as well as ammunition and cell phones.
The documents indicate Wright could have been shot with his own weapons because “shell casings of different calibers were recovered with Wright’s body.”
Sherra Wright originally told police that her estranged husband left her home around 2 a.m. on July 19. But a 911 call put the estimated time of death closer to midnight.
As many as a dozen gunshots could be heard on a recording of the 911 call. Wright’s bullet riddled body was found in a field in Southeast Memphis on July 28.
According to the Commercial Appeal, Sherra Wright called police on July 27 to say Wright left her home at 10:30 p.m. “carrying a box of drugs” and an undetermined amount of cash. ($3,000 was found on his body). She said Wright returned to the house then left again in a vehicle driven by an unidentified person.
Before he left the second time with money, she heard Wright making phone calls on two of his cell phones, a tracfone or something similar, and an iPhone.
She heard Wright say he was going to “flip something for $110,000.”
She also said Wright left his wallet behind in her home.

Ditto. I also get tired of ppl with money not having the brains that GOD gave them to protect their assests. Why was she renting a home, she should have been a homeowner.
He died in a drug deal…???
damn….times getting rough…smh i guess for everybody. 
She was a home owner, but like alot of people. they spent too fast. 2 houses worth over a mill apiece.. and and million dollar house in memphis, really??? its not that serious.. I just hope he had life insurance so the kids can be ok, since the moms maybe locked up soon…
He’s not flipping no 3 stacks into 110k no matter what drug you buying..
@Lakercrazy… Exactly
@Anna… Many people don’t think about important things like that. I can not wait to purchase my first home. Renting for my whole life would feel like I’m throwing money away. But I guess it’s different strokes for different folks.
This is heartbreaking, those kids have been through a lot. I pray things get better for them!
I don’t believe you Sherra…

thank u hell betty crocker can’t flip a cake like that
this story is sad on so many levels but this sounds like a crime of passion honey hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
Why would he have drugs and guns at YOUR house that YOU are renting???? So many questions! The older kids are really hurting because they can put 2 + 2 together like we can! God bless the children!

A crime of passion happens in the heat of the moment. This would be premeditated(a hit).
I DON’T BELEIVE THE EX-WIFE. IT WOULD BE REALLY SAD IF SHE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH HIS MURDER.
MAY GOD BE WITH THEIR CHILDREN ALWAYS. THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT REAL SOON.
it sounds like it was more then one person, since he was shot with more then 1 gun.. I know about the scorned women, I’ve been forced to watch lifetime channel and thats all they show..
Women are crazy and they get away with it alot.. Oh your honor it was my time of the month and he was acting up…

What a sexist comment! As if men don’t have their bitchy moments….
Hmm don’t know about those men, i never had a pussy moment..
That would be a feminine male then..
yeah but most times a “hit” is execution style …. a crime of passion usually involves someone who cares about the person and then they flip the hell out and kill them in a SERIOUS way this story has way too many angles to be premeditated
i agree with u bk2atlman WOMEN ARE CRAZY and i am a damn woman like my husband says anything that bleed for days and don’t die he aint f*ing with
No word on an insurance policy??? That may have or can help her at this time.
As for the story having holes, I need to wait it out before I go in. I need more people.
Like women, men are crazy too…..

I didn’t know “a hit” was execution style. Ppl(even women)put hits out on their mates all the time. Maybe I don’t know the definition of “a hit”. I thought is was hiring someone to kill someone you know.
IDK something about her is not sitting well with me and I pray she is not behind his death – I hope GOD puts his loving arms around Wrights children for the rest of their lives and guide them on the right path…
“Like women, men are crazy too… ”
On Topic: Something just doesn’t sound right about all thestories she’s telling. The truth doesn’t change but lies will. Her accounts of what happended are looking really suspect right now…
@ anna so a hit is not an execution??? LOL girl stop playing either way if it is carried out SOMEBODY dead…. this chick is not telling the TRUTH about something and it WILL come out

You know how black folks are, afraid they’ll die(or someone will kill them) if they buy Life Insurance. They think if you put life insurance on a child it’s a target for death.
and in TN, you can definitely pay cash money for a house. poor business on lorenzen’s part for sure. did he not have life insurance? again, lack of preparation and establishing something for the kids’ future. wow.

Definitely agree. I don’t have half of the loot he has and I have SEVERAL policies on me as well as my children. You just never know and you have to be prepared for anything. Again, this is just sooooo sad.
Them poor babies….

*****************************************
he knew it and THEY knew it. that’s why they didn’t waste anymore time with him.
So maybe they had arrangements for his death so that she could reap the benefits of the life insurance – white folks do it all the time…
and million dollar house in memphis, really??? its not that

What’s wrong with a million dollar home in Memphi, it’s a nice city and people do have money that live there , it may not be LA ,or Miami , but it has nice areas.

One question: If they were renting the house, then how is it in foreclosure?
Sorry two questions: How is it that the kids have been taken out of school and school hasn’t started yet?
