‘WE DIDN’T MEAN IT’: Strange 911 call raises more questions about teen’s gruesome beating death

A 911 call to Akron police on June 2 raises new concerns regarding the deadly assault of 17-year-old Ethan Liming.

Liming was beaten to death on his final day of high school following what officials characterized as a conflict between two friend groups that started after Liming’s buddies fired a toy water bead gun at a group of guys on the school basketball court.

A 911 call from one of Liming’s pals on the night of the brawl reads, they are at the I Promise school in Akron, Ohio. Their pal was recently knocked out. They are at a loss on what to do.

The operator inquires if the caller’s address is the scene of a brawl.

In the background of the conversation, a voice can be heard saying that they sincerely apologise. They weren’t serious.

The caller then answers the operator’s query by saying there was a battle going on, he said, before adding, however it’s all right. It’s all right now. It’s all right now.

The operator inquires about Liming’s breathing, to which the caller says, he is, indeed, breathing. He’s still alive.

At that time, a voice in the background of the conversation can be heard stating, “I’m not trying to fight,” along with some other inaudible sounds and noises, before the connection suddenly terminates, leaving the operator stranded.

At that time, it’s unknown if the battle had finished or had worsened.

On June 11, Akron cops detained three suspects in Liming’s death: 20-year-old Deshawn Stafford Jr., 19-year-old Tyler Stafford, and 21-year-old Donovon Jones. They are jailed on a $1 million bond. Following their trial on Monday, each pleaded not guilty.

During a media briefing on June 8, police said they got a phone call shortly before 10:50 p.m. on June 2 about a brawl in a parking lot near an elementary school basketball court.

The court — which, as per Liming’s dad, Bill Liming, is supposedly illuminated at all hours of the night — is part of the “I Promise School,” a public primary school in Akron financed by the LeBron James Family Foundation.

Police showed up three minutes after the initial 911 call and saw Ethan laying on the ground in the parking lot. Authorities performed life-saving procedures but were unable to recover the teen, who was declared dead at the scene, according to Akron Police Chief Steve Mylett.

Ethan and three of his buddies had driven into the basketball court parking lot that night to message their pals and discuss arrangements for the rest of the evening, the older Liming previously stated.

Two of his companions exited the truck and began shooting a toy “SplatRBall” gun, billed as a rechargeable, full-auto and semi-auto water bead pistol. When the water beads strike a target, they burst. Walmart’s website lists the toy pistol for $68.

Ethan’s dad stated that his kid had previously hit him with the toy pistol, and the gel bullets feel like a “rubber band snap.”

The two lads with the water bead pistol then started firing at a group of four people on the basketball floor. An argument soon erupted between the four people on the basketball court and the four lads in the parking lot, including Ethan.

Per the older Liming, three people in the car, including Ethan, were attacked.

When Ethan’s companions tried to take him to the hospital, suspects Deshawn Stafford and Tyler Stafford took Liming’s car and drove it to the opposite end of the lot, according to police papers, although one of the men’s lawyers questioned the pair’s motives.

According to Jonathan Sinn, who represented DeShawn “Shawn” Stafford, while the accused did remove the water bead cannon and the automobile following the alleged altercation, they did not move the car to stop Liming from going to the hospital. Sinn claims that they did so in order to hold Ethan and his companions on the scene until police came, regardless of the fact that his client and the other accused reportedly fled the area thereafter.

Mylett told reporters that when cops came into the parking area near the basketball court that night, no one was on location.

Earlier last week, Sinn told the court that Shawn Stafford was attempting to protect himself after seeing “a car-load of youngsters with what appeared to be a fully automatic rifle,” referring to the SplatRBall pistol.

According to his dad, Ethan was an honours student at a public school in Akron, where he earned a 4.03 GPA and played baseball and football. He wanted to be a lawyer.

Bill Liming’s family is certain that when the details of the case are exposed in court, Ethan will obtain justice, he said in a statement on Tuesday. He continued that individuals will say what they’re going to say.
