BREAKING: Sherra Wright In Police Custody...?

((HT: WPTY-TV Memphis))

According to ABC24 in Memphis, Sherra Wright, the ex-wife NBA'er Lorenzen Wright, is in police custody tonight, in connection with his murder.

((UPDATE: As of 2330 Sunday night, the station pulled that idea off their reports and only added that at least six cop cars were outside Sherra Wright's home Sunday looking for clues in the investigation...))

Sherra Wright was the last person to see him alive, telling local Memphis-area police she saw him leave her house in the Memphis suburb of Collierville back on the 18th.

Detectives spent much of the day searching the grounds for evidence. Investigators could be seen removing several items, and at one point, were in the backyard looking very carefully at Wright's grill and fire pit.

Neighbors reported a large fire in her backyard after Wright's disappearance, and say they thought it was unusual for Wright to light a fire on one of the hottest nights of the year.

((The HQ would like to remind folks that people do cook out even in the Summer, though...))

Kevin Holmes of ABC24 caught up with some neighbors to get their take on the whole murder investigation...

Neighbor Tim Coleman said: “I just heard her talking to somebody about needing her money. I don’t know anymore than that. I really try not to listen to it but when she’s screaming it’s hard not to hear stuff.”

Here's Holmes' report from ABC24 Eyewitness News in full...

DEVELOPING: Wright's Ex-Wife Received "Threatening Visit"

((HT: MyFoxMemphis))

Sherra Wright's attorney, Gail Mathes, says her client was visited three armed men looking for Lorenzen Wright about six weeks before he was found shot to death.

Sherra Wright was afraid for herself and her children so she, apparently, kept quiet about the visit until earlier this week. At that point, she then alerted police in the Memphis suburb of Collierville.

Mathes says the men, dressed in sport coats and able to show that the were armed, threatened Sherra Wright and her family if she told anyone about the visit.

The Commercial Appeal first reported the story.
