Autopsy shows Ohio teen beaten to death outside LeBron James' school suffered gruesome injuries



The teenager who was beaten to death outside a school founded by LeBron James in Ohio suffered gruesome injuries, according to a preliminary autopsy report.

Ethan Liming was beaten to death in the parking lot of the I Promise School in Akron on June 2.

Donovan Jones, 21, Tyler Stafford, 19, and DeShawn Stafford Jr., 20, were playing basketball at the elementary school. As TheBlaze previously reported, Liming and his friends drove into the parking lot and then sprayed the young men playing basketball with water gel beads from a toy called a "SplatRBall" gun.

The three young men fled the basketball court.

During a bail hearing earlier this month, Stafford's lawyer, Jonathan Sinn, claimed that his client believed that he was being attacked by a "fully automatic firearm."

Ethan's father, Bill Liming, asserted that his 17-year-old son attempted to defuse the tense situation.

"When he got out of the car and told people to relax, it's a joke, it's a joke, and the individuals didn't like that. One individual attacked [Ethan], the father told the Akron Beacon Journal.

A fight erupted between three young men and Liming and his three teenage friends. The other teens were able to escape, but Liming was beaten to death. The three young men fled the crime scene.

A preliminary autopsy report revealed that Ethan Liming died of blunt-force trauma to the head.

The Summit County Medical Examiner found that Liming had a broken occipital bone.

"The occipital bone is the trapezoid-shaped bone at the lower-back of the cranium (skull)," according to Verywell Health. "The occipital bone houses the back part of the brain and is one of seven bones that come together to form the skull."

The Daily Mail reported that the teen suffered a broken neck.

The Akron Beacon Journal reported that Liming suffered a head laceration, a black eye, and a footprint on his chest wall. The outlet added that police found an unresponsive Liming lying on his back, bleeding from his head, nose, mouth, and ears. Liming's cellphone was smashed.

A final autopsy report is expected to take weeks.

U.S. Marshals arrested the three young men who are suspects in the deadly beating on June 11.

All three suspects have pleaded not guilty to murder and felonious assault. They are being held on a $1 million bond.

Earlier this month, Bill Liming told WEWS-TV, "We would do anything we could possibly do to turn the clock back and have him in my arms again. And to see his face again, but they robbed me of even that ability. And they destroyed my child's face and his head."

"People keep saying, 'Oh, you do these things and you deserve, you get what you deserve.' I don't think anybody's child would ever deserve what happened to him," the father said. "Nobody's child would deserve what they did to my child."

LeBron James tweeted about the deadly attack at the I Promise School, "Our condolences goes out to the family who lost a loved one!! My the heavens above watch over you during this tragedy! Pray for our community!"

Whitlock: Bigoted LeBron James promises DNC –Dead Negroes Confederacy – to remain silent on Emmett Till 2.0 murder



Five years ago, LeBron James claimed a vandal spray-painted the N-word on the gate of his Brentwood, California, mansion.

At the time of the alleged incident, James and his family primarily resided in Cleveland, and James was in Oakland participating in the NBA Finals. James’ employees removed and painted over the racist graffiti before police arrived and could investigate.

Nevertheless, when discussing the “crime” from the NBA’s highest platform, James analogized what he and his family experienced to the mother of Emmett Till, the 14-year-old black boy murdered in Mississippi in 1955 for whistling at a white woman.

“It just goes to show that racism will always be a part of the world, a part of America,” James said at the 2017 NBA Finals. “And hate in America, especially for African-Americans, is living every day. And even though that it’s concealed most of the time, even though people hide their faces and will say things about you, and when they see you they smile in your face. It’s alive every single day.

“I think back to Emmett Till’s mom, actually. It’s kind of one of the first things I thought of. The reason that she had an open casket is because she wanted to show the world what her son went through as far as a hate crime and being black in America. No matter how much money you have, no matter how famous you are, no matter how many people admire you, being black in America is tough.”

Spray-painted graffiti that LeBron James and his family never personally saw made LeBron think of the pain Mamie Till felt over the murder of her teenage son.

James, in my opinion, was lying. The hate he whined about was a hoax intended to garner sympathy and elevate his brand as a social justice warrior. I believed that in 2017, and I believe it even more today, analyzing his reaction to the murder of Ethan Liming in the parking lot of James’ celebrated, Akron, Ohio, I Promise School.

Liming and his family have far more in common with Emmett and Mamie Till than LeBron James ever will.

Two weeks ago today, three men beat Liming, a 17-year-old honor-roll student, to death near an outdoor basketball court at I Promise School. Liming is white. His accused assailants are black.

Liming and three friends were joyriding in his car and shooting a water paintball gun. They stopped at I Promise School. Two of Liming’s friends – two black teenagers – got out of the car with the water gun and approached four men playing basketball. According to initial reports, Liming’s friends fired the water gun at the men. Three of the men chased Liming’s friends back to Liming’s car. Liming, a 6-foot-1 football and baseball player, stepped out of the car and tried to calm the situation. He was attacked. The three men beat him brutally. According to witness statements and the police report, the assailants punched and kicked Liming after he was knocked unconscious on the ground.

The assailants then allegedly prevented Liming’s friends from rushing him to a hospital. The assailants snatched one of the teenager’s cellphones as they tried to call for help, took Liming’s car keys, and moved his car to the opposite side of the parking lot. Liming’s third friend ran away from the scene and called police. When police arrived, Liming was dead. Approximately a week later, law enforcement arrested the three assailants. They’ve been charged with murder and sit in jail on $1 million bonds.

A quick recap: Two black kids shot a water paintball gun at four black men, sparking a confrontation outside a white kid’s car. The white kid attempted to calm the situation. Three black men beat him to death in the parking lot of the school fronted by a high-profile racial justice warrior, the Muhammad Ali of the 21st century.

Here’s what LeBron James has had to say about the incident:

“Our condolences goes out to the family who lost a loved one!! My the heavens above watch over you during this tragedy! Pray for our community!”

His heartfelt, grammatically challenged tweet included heart and crown emojis. There was no mention of Emmett or Mamie Till. No mention of racial hatred.

Five black kids got in a fight, and the white kid who initially acted as peacemaker got killed. What would LeBron tweet if a black child was brutally beaten by three white men at I Promise School?

He would analogize it to Emmett Till and compare 2022 America to 1955 America. What happened to Ethan Liming is similar to what happened to Till. Till was allegedly trying to amuse his friends when he whistled at Carolyn Bryant, a white shopkeeper. Days later, when told of the incident, Bryant’s husband turned a would-be harmless joke into a murder that rocked America.

The water-gun horseplay of Liming’s black friends sparked his murder. Deshawn Stafford, 20, Tyler Stafford, 19, and Donovan Jones, 21 – the accused assailants – turned a harmless prank into a murder that LeBron James and his media sychophants want to ignore.

LeBron wore a hoodie to protest the death of Trayvon Martin, a teenage boy in Sanford, Florida. LeBron ranted that black people are hunted every day after two white men shot Ahmaud Arbery. LeBron put a target on the back of a white Ohio police officer after he shot a teenage black girl who was attempting to stab a black woman.

LeBron has smoke for everyone white he believes wrongly takes a life. He has nothing substantive to say when black people take lives. LeBron James is a stereotypical bigot. Racial bigotry, of any stripe, is rooted in lust for power. The KKK terrorized black and white people who failed to support the racist policies of the Democratic Party. That’s not an opinion. It’s a historical fact.

LeBron is a political soldier for the Democratic Party. His bigotry is rooted in lust for political power. Democrats have painted their political opponents as bigots. It’s LeBron’s job to promote that narrative. He pounces on every high-profile opportunity, and he’s not above going the Jussie Smollett route and creating faux hate crime.

He analogized himself to Mamie Till at the behest of his political puppet masters. He will never address the family dysfunction and chaos that leads far too many black boys and men to settle conflict with deadly violence. The DNC – the Dead Negroes Confederacy – loves dead negroes. The DNC forbids its constituents to publicly discuss the pervasive violence that plagues black communities.

That issue is to be ignored until it magically disappears due to indifference.

LeBron is indifferent to the violence that killed Ethan Liming. LeBron, like many leftists, expects black men to randomly kill.

3 arrested in connection with teenager beaten to death at LeBron James' school over water gun incident



An Ohio teenager was beaten to death over an incident involving a water gel gun, according to police. Three men were arrested in connection with the deadly beating at a school that was founded by NBA star LeBron James.

Ethan Liming, 17, was found beaten to death on June 2 in the parking lot of I Promise School in Akron which was established by James, according to Akron Police Department Chief Stephen Mylett.

Liming was one of four juveniles who were at the parking lot that is close to basketball courts, according to witness interviews.

"Shortly after their arrival, they got out of their vehicle, and at least two members of occupants of the vehicle started discharging a, what we know now to be a SPLATRBALL Water Bead Blaster," Mylett said. "They started discharging it at the direction of four individuals who were playing basketball on the basketball court."

The people playing basketball initially ran away from the juveniles with the water guns. However, the individuals then allegedly followed the juveniles back to their car in the parking lot.

"A confrontation occurs. Ethan Liming is assaulted, and a fight ensues. At the conclusion of it, Ethan Liming is dead," Mylett said.

A call to 911 was placed from the scene, but police said no one other than an unresponsive Liming was at the crime scene when they arrived within three minutes, around 10:46 p.m.

Officials said Liming was pronounced dead at the scene.

"The Summit County Medical Examiner’s Office said he died from a blunt force head injury and the manner of death was homicide," NBC News reported.

"The collective actions of the teens in the car appear to have unfortunately provoked the altercation," Mylett said in a press release. "While these actions appear to have played a role in the incident, investigators do not believe the attack or the murder were remotely justified."

The water gel gun was recovered at the scene of the crime.

Akron Police Department

On Saturday, U.S. Marshals announced the arrest of the three men in connection with the death of the 17-year-old.

Deshawn Stafford Jr., 20, Tyler Stafford,19, and Donovon Jones, 21, were arrested Saturday morning by the U.S. Marshals Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force and Akron Police.

The three suspects have all been charged with murder and felonious assault, WKYC reported. Jones is also charged with disrupting public service.

"Sources told WKYC they and their family members were allegedly bragging about killing Liming, leading witnesses to tip off law enforcement," the outlet reported.

"I am happy to report that today, officers with the Akron Police Department, made several arrests in connection with the death of Ethan Liming," Mylett in a press release. "We thank the members of the community for their outpouring of support that helped investigators throughout this investigation."

Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan said, “Ethan Liming was a young man with a full life ahead of him, and that bright future was senselessly taken from him in the most brutal of ways. This type of violence in our community has ripple effects that touch each person, including myself, in profound ways, and I know the city of Akron is in mourning because of this tremendous loss."

Liming's father, Bill, told WEWS-TV, "We would do anything we could possibly do to turn the clock back and have him in my arms again. And to see his face again, but they robbed me of even that ability. And they destroyed my child's face and his head."

Liming dismissed the notion that his son deserved the beating, "People keep saying, 'Oh, you do these things and you deserve you get what you deserve.' I don't think anybody's child would ever deserve what happened to him. Nobody's child would deserve what they did to my child."

Bill Liming told Fox News that his son was a loving person with a "very bright future" ahead of him.

James reacted to the news by tweeting, "Our condolences [go] out to the family who lost a loved one!! [May] the heavens above watch over you during this tragedy! Pray for our community!"
