A 911 call made from the basketball court of an Ohio high school founded by LeBron James raises more questions than it answers about an incident that left a high school junior dead.
Ethan Liming, 17, was beaten to death in the parking lot of the I Promise School in Akron on June 2. Three men have been arrested in connection with the homicide, which officials said erupted after Liming was shooting a water gun at people on the court.
“We’re at the I Promise school in Akron, Ohio,” one of Liming’s friends told a 911 operator during a 10:42 p.m. call on the night of the fight, according to Fox News.
“Our friend just got knocked out. We don’t know what to do.”
As the operator asked if the fight was still going on, a voice in the background was heard saying, “Hey, man. We’re sorry, man. We didn’t mean it,” according to the report. One of Ethan Liming’s friends told the dispatcher there was a fight but everything was “OK” and “cool” afterward. Family Handout The caller said “there was” a fight before reportedly telling the dispatcher, “It’s OK, though. It’s cool now. It’s cool now.”
When asked if Liming is breathing, the caller said, “Yeah, he’s breathing. He’s breathing.”
A commotion could then be heard in the background in addition to a voice that said, “I’m not trying to fight, though,” before the call abruptly ended, leaving it unclear if the fight was over or escalating, according to the outlet.
Cops arrived at the court three minutes later and found Liming unresponsive, the report said.

Just because we are black racists, and whaled the sht out of him, doesn't mean we killed him on purpose. As usual, can you imagine the uproar if 3 white teens killed a black one by "accident"?
Are these three perps stoned on THC or what, like their favorite half-witted rappers. Look at their eyes.
Very sorry for his family’s loss but it takes a special kind of stupid to deliberately antagonize midnight basket ballers on their home court.
Authorities said the suspects, Deshawn Stafford, 20; Tyler Stafford, 19 and Donovan Jones, 21
Hmmm. Beaten to death by a gang of Amish yoots?
Don’t think I’ve ever seen a journalist report the numbers of participants on each side in a fight - “four on four” in this case so if anyone was wondering the kid was beaten to death fair and square, ok? /s
I bet LeBron James hasn’t said a single word. He’s a worthless ChiCom, slave labor loving piece of schiff.
Yep...didn’t need to look...again.

It’s a Racist, Hate Crime, Murder.
The Headlines should shout the Truth.
Guess you don’t have to worry about Joe & Jill traveling to Ohio to soothe the family and community.

A four-on-four fight broke out after the teens shot the gun at the men that were on the court playing basketball, according to police.
The suspects fled the scene after they “took Liming’s car and drove it to the other end of the lot” following the deadly attack, court documents reportedly said.
Jonathan Sinn, a lawyer for DeShawn Stafford, said his client was defending himself after seeing “a car-load of teenagers … with, what at the time seemed to be a fully automatic firearm,” a reference to the $68 water gun, according to the article.
The toy’s website warns users not to “take SplatRBall Blasters to any school or federal properties” or “aim at or blast people or animals.”
******* You gotta like the free flowing bllshit coming from these killers lawyer. Or should I say one of the killers, DeShawn Stafford, lawyers. Ohio is conservative enough to put these killers in prison for at least 20 years. Though I always prefer the death penalty in cut and dried murder cases.
Happy Juneteenth, enjoy prison and being felons for life.
Black males are why I quit basketball and play coed volleyball. Almost 100% white people. Zero fights in 7 years…
That one guy has a Libman mop on his head,.......
Prepare to be shocked at how little time they wind up serving.
And many jurisdictions are already passing laws making it illegal to discriminate based on someone's felony convictions.
According to their attorney, one of the assailants was simply defending himself from the water-pellet shooter who he thought had a “fully automatic” weapon. When someone is attacking you with a machine gun, all bets are off and lethal force is called for. That’s their story, and we can expect them to stick with it.
Don’t tell me. The clown on the bottom left has a street name of Broccoli.
“Black males are why I quit basketball and play coed volleyball. Almost 100% white people. Zero fights in 7 years…”
My cuz age 23, and out of Rice University thought it would be cool to play B-Ball with these racist idiots. His reward was getting two front teeth knocked out via an elbowing. The black kid who elbowed him never apologized as he left the game post-haste. This cuz is actually v smart in the investment world and has made beaucoup money in lithium. Though I have not spoken to him since the recent stock market downturn of the last two months.
As I understand the story, via a Whitlock piece, it was his 2 black friends who disrupted the b-ball players with water guns. Things got heated, white kid tries to play peacemaker, and ends up beat to death. Lesson is be very careful about playing peacemaker in an emotionally charged situation, double true if not of same ethnicity.
Looks like Fentanyl
A $68 water gun? I never paid more than 68¢.
