Police said Liming and his friends drove through the city during the evening on June 2, smoking marijuana and shooting people and objects with a soft gel gun. The plastic guns fire a capsule that is filled with water. The capsules often cause pain and minor irritation.
Liming’s friends pulled into the parking lot and drove directly to where the Staffords and their cousin, 21-year-old Donovon Jones, were playing basketball at the school, which is operated with help from the LeBron James Family Foundation. Liming and his friends began shooting them with the gel guns.
Deshawn Stafford approached Liming and attempted to take the gun away after being shot in the face. The two began fighting. His brother and cousin joined in the fight.
Liming died when his head hit the pavement after being punched in the face, according to authorities. The medical examiner ruled his death a homicide.
According to the medical examiner’s report, Liming’s injuries included “relatively superficial injuries to the face, torso, legs, arms and left hand.” It is unclear if all the injuries occurred June 2, when the fight took place.[/i]
