US Marshal has arrested three men who are suspected of beating 17-year-old Ethan Liming to death in Akron, Ohio.

The beating took place outside of Lebron James’ I Promise school.

According to police reports Federal Agents arrested Deshawn Stafford Jr, 20, Tyler Stafford, 19, and Donovon Jones, 21.

Investigators found the suspects after family members of the suspected killers were allegedly bragging about Ethan’s death.

LeBron James’ helped open up the I Promise school in 2018 but has yet to condemn the violence that took place at the school.

NBC Dropped these details:

U.S. Marshals and Ohio police have arrested three men in connection with the fatal beating of 17-year-old Ethan Liming outside an Ohio school created by Lebron James’ foundation earlier this month.

Officials arrested Deshawn Stafford Jr., 20, Tyler Stafford, 19, and Donovon Jones, 21 on Saturday morning at two different residences in Akron, Ohio, according to a statement released by the U.S. Marshals Service.

Liming, a rising high school senior, died June 2 following a fight in the parking lot of the I Promise School in Akron in an incident police called a “senseless act of violence.”

 

The Daily Mail covered the story too:

The U.S. Marshals Service arrested three men accused of fatally beating a 17-year-old boy outside the high school founded by LeBron James during a fight provoked by a toy gun.

The Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force tracked down Deshawn Stafford, 20, Tyler Stafford, 19, and Donovon Jones, 21, and arrested them on an Akron Police Department Warrant for the death of high school football player Ethan Liming on the basketball courts near the I Promise School on June 2.

Liming and a group of friends were joy-riding in a car and apparently provoked the fight with the three men by shooting at them with a plastic Splatrball Water Bead Blaster.

Deshawn and Tyler Stafford, who live together in the 500 block of North Howard Street in Akron, Ohio, were arrested by the Marshals and police. Jones was captured separately in the 200 block of Crosby Street, also in Akron.
