Former NBA player Lorenzen Wright’s ex-wife told police he left her house on the night of his death with a box of drugs and an unspecified sum of money, according to court records obtained by the Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
Ex-Wife: Lorenzen Wright Left House With Drugs, Money The Night He Was Killed
Sherra Wright told detectives her ex had a conversation on “a ‘tracfone’ or similar cellular telephone” with an unidentified person before he left with the drugs and money. She also told police he owned an iPhone and made calls from both cells while at her house.
“During the conversation with the unidentified individual, Sherra Wright told Det. Young she heard Lorenzen Wright say he was going to flip something for $110,000,” according to an affidavit obtained by The Commercial Appeal on Tuesday.
Sherra Wright also told police her ex-husband kept two guns in the family van but they have yet to be found. The police did seize two items from her house, pieces of burned metal and a letter addressed to Lorenzen and Sherra Wright. She was unaware of the contents of the letter.
Memphis PD Lt. Alan Ruhl said late Tuesday that the homicide investigation is continuing to develop.
