For over a decade, Deborah Marion has been fighting for answers in the murder of her son, former NBA player Lorenzen Wright, who was found shot in 2010.
Deborah Marion was the mother of former NBA player Lorenzen Wright, who was found shot in 2010.
At the time, Wright Robinson claimed to investigators that Wright was connected to drugs. She claimed that she had last seen Wright drive off with an unknown man carrying a box of drugs. “I knew God was on my side,” Marion said. “I wasn't gonna never get tired until I die 'cause somebody had to pay for killing my child.”
In court, prosecutors said Wright Robinson's cousin, Jimmie Martin, started talking to investigators about Wright’s murder while awaiting sentencing in an unrelated murder case that had occurred three years prior to Wright’s death. “Ms. Sherra, I want to thank you for giving me my grandchildren, that’s what I want to thank you for,” she said in court.
