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.
