The man who allegedly shot and killed NBA center Lorenzen
Wright, 34, on behalf of the victim s ex-wife will
finally stand trial more than 11 years after the murder.
Jurors will decide the fate of Billy Ray Turner, 51, in
Shelby County, Tennessee. You can watch in the player
above.
The Los Angeles Clippers drafted Wright 7th overall in
1996 during that era s basketball boom period. He ended
up returning to his hometown Memphis for five seasons to
play for the Grizzles. It was in July 2010, the year
after his final season, that he made a final 911 call to
authorities in Germantown, Tennessee. 11 gunshots cut it
short. He was found dead on July 28, 2010.
Authorities said he was last seen leaving the home of
Sherra Wright, his ex-wife. Prosecutors say she is the
woman behind his murder. She was originally charged with
first-degree murder, but she ended up pleading down to
lesser charges of facilitation to commit first-degree
murder and facilitation to commit attempted first-degree
murder. She was sentenced to 30 years in prison.
Turner was a landscaper who went to Sherra Wright s
church. According to an affidavit, the pair were involved
in a relationship at the time of Lorenzen Wright s death,
and had been heard discussing potential plots to kill the
basketball player.
According to prosecutor Paul Hagerman, a man named Jimmie
Martin admitted that he played a role in the murder. He
helped Sherra Wright and Turner plan Lorenzen Wright s
murder, and that Sherra Wright paid him for this.
In this version of events, Sherra Wright picked him up in
the days after the murder, picked up Turner, and Martin
helped them clean up the crime scene and destroy
evidence. Sherra Wright borrowed a metal detector from
Martin s mother in order to find the murder weapon, which
Turner dropped. Martin accompanied Turner to the lake,
where Turner threw away the gun.
Authorities said that Martin led authorities to that lake
near Walnut, Mississippi on Nov. 9, 2017. Prosecutors
have identified him as the unindicted co-conspirator in
the case.
He actually was out on bond during the Wright killing.
Jurors had acquitted him in 2009 for murdering his
girlfriend Martha Jean Bownes, but could not reach a
decision on second-degree murder, according to The
Commercial Appeal. He was finally convicted on that
lesser charge in 2012 and sentenced to 20 years behind
bars.
Turner attorney John Keith Perry signaled that Martin
lacked credibility.
s a convicted murderer that was caught in, I think, 40
different lies in his trial, he reportedly said.
