WPTY-TV, Memphis, reported six squad cars were parked outside Robinson Wright's house Sunday, with detectives seen searching inside and out for clues into the slaying of Lorenzen Wright, a former University of Memphis and Memphis Grizzlies player.

Police say Wright's ex-wife was the last person to see him alive last month, nine days before his bullet-riddled body was found July 28 in a wooded area of the city.

The broadcaster said detectives could be seen removing items and carefully searching the back yard, especially Robinson Wright's grill and fire pit.

Her attorney, Gail Mathes, told The Commercial Appeal Robinson Wright has been cooperating with police.

"I know, as well as I know myself, that Sherra Wright was not involved in any way in the murder of Lorenzen Wright," Mathes said.
