A gun-wielding murderer will spend the rest of his life in prison after he was convicted of killing a former basketball star.
The body of Lorenzen Wright was found in a swampy field in his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, in July 2010 – several days after he had been reported missing. Those searching for the father of six found his body with multiple bullet wounds.
Wright, 34, had retired from professional basketball just a year earlier after a long career in the NBA, playing for several top franchises including his hometown team the Memphis Grizzlies. Given his fame and the violence of his death, it became one of the most high-profile murder cases in the city's history.
