Ethan Liming Update: Akron Teen Was Hit in the Head from Behind – Then Killers Took His Car and Prevented His Friends from Driving Him to Hospital

The U.S. Marshals Service arrested three men accused of fatally beating a 17-year-old high Ethan Liming outside the high school founded by LeBron James.

The three men beat Liming to death and later bragged about it to friends.

….

Bill Liming, Ethan’s father, said his son and three friends, one white and two Black, went to the I Promise School on West Market Street to meet that night and figure out what they were going to do together. Bill Liming is lead pastor at Montrose Zion United Methodist Church.

The group of friends ran into three other young males and a young female and an altercation broke out. His father said it began as “horseplay” but escalated, with his son being drawn into it. He declined to say what the horseplay might have involved, saying he has heard conflicting information.

“Teenagers were being teenagers,” he said. “I don’t want to say too much about the investigation. But apparently some of his friends who were with him were fooling around in the parking lot and some other people didn’t like it.”

Ethan and a friend were sitting in a car at the time and thought what was going on was still horseplay, his father said.

“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 him,” he said.

A second individual came up from behind and hit Ethan in the head, his father said.
