Memphis Police Recovered Gun Suspected In Lorenzen Wright's 2010 Murder

The Memphis police have recovered a gun from a Mississippi lake that they think is related to the 2010 murder of former NBA player Lorenzen Wright, according to Katie Fretland and Marc Perrusquia of The Commercial Appeal.

Wright's body was found in southeast Memphis in July 2010 and police found the gun in a Walnut, Miss. lake on County Road 302.

"It's believed that this is the murder weapon," Memphis police spokesman Louis Brownlee said according to The Commercial Appeal.

Shortly after midnight on July 19, 2010, Wright called the police for help near a Memphis golf course.
