Lebron James Family Foundation Responds to Ethan Liming Murder on ‘I Promise’ School Campus

Lebron James hasn’t spoken out directly about the situation, but his foundation left a heartfelt message on twitter about Ethan Liming’s death. It seemed their message was focused around ensuring parents that the ‘I Promise’ school campus is safe despite the murder.

In the series of posts the LeBron James Family Foundation wrote, “Our community is everything to us. We were devastated to learn of the overnight incident that saw a life lost near our school. We are grieving with our community over another senseless act of violence. Our ‘I Promise’ campus is safe and secure as we continue to do everything we can to support our students, families, and the entire Akron community“.

Despite the powerful message Lebron’s foundation left on social media it’s going to be very hard to convince parents that the ‘I Promise’ campus is truly safe after an incident like this was allowed to happen, and no arrests have been made.

Prayers up for Ethan Liming’s family. The pain they must be going through right now is unimaginable. 17 years old is way too young to go under any circumstances. Hopefully police can find the person who committed this heinous murder.
