In the early hours of July 19, a Germantown dispatcher received a 911 call from Lorenzen Wright's cell phone.
The dispatcher heard a garbled male voice utter an expletive, then at least 10 gunshots.
The phone then went dead.
Wright's body was found in a wooded area of southeast Memphis, two law enforcement sources confirmed Wednesday afternoon.
Orange estimated Wright was carrying between $2,000 and $3,000 in big bills. Police have not said if robbery is a possible motive in the slaying.
