Teen who was Shooting people with a water gun found beaten to death at the Otherwise Wonderful Lebron James School for Winners

From [HERE] A white teenager was discovered beaten to death after he supposedly drove around with friends shooting water guns at people. 

The body of Ethan Liming, 17, was found in the parking lot of the LeBron James-founded I Promise School in Akron, according to a report. 

The cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head, and Liming's family is begging for answers. 

"Ethan was everything: He was a good boy, he was a smart boy, he loved life, he loved living life. He wanted to be friends with everybody," Jennifer Liming, the teenager's mother, said. "Ethan didn't see color — he saw hearts. He was just such a good person."

"Please help us find these people," she said. "I just miss him so much. I wish he was here." 

An investigation into the events surrounding the teenager's death is ongoing, but his father, Bill Liming, a pastor, offered an account. 

His son and three friends drove to the school on the night of the incident, the father said, and ran into another group of three men and a young woman who attended the school. "Horseplay" escalated into a full-blown altercation, the teenager's father continued. 

"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 Liming left the car to address the situation, 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 added. 

It was then when a second individual approached him from behind and struck him in the head, he said. 

"He was fighting back for his life," he continued. "A third individual came up behind him and overwhelmed him. And they knocked him out on the ground. His friends tried to help him." 

Ethan Liming's friends called 911, but they were unable to drive away from the other group, who came back "and finished my son off," Bill Liming said. 

"My son, Ethan Liming, was murdered by three African American males and a female who stood by and did nothing," he said. 

His son's friends "did everything they possibly could to help Ethan," he said. "They called 911 to get help. And when Ethan was knocked out and on the ground, his two African American friends tried to pick up his body and put him in the car to help save his life. He was still alive. He was still breathing." 

"The people who murdered him didn't like that and drove them away. They physically assaulted and beat the white child who was there with him. ... Help did not arrive in time. They did the best they could to help him when they were there. My heart's broken. We don't want any other children, or anybody else, to be hurt in that area. It's not safe. It's not secure." 

Akron Police Chief Stephen Mylett and Mayor Dan Horrigan addressed the incident at a press conference. 

"There were assumptions made that this was a race-related incident," Mylett said. "There is nothing that we have in our possession right now, any information at all, indicating race played a role in this homicide. Nothing." 

"I want to reassure the community that if we do receive information that race played a role in this, as in any homicide, we will consult with our prosecuting attorneys and add additional charges," the police chief added. 

Investigators believe Ethan Liming and his friend group used a SplatRBall Water Bead Blaster to shoot individuals prior to the incident. 

"It was a senseless act of violence in our city yet again," Mylett said. "We have a lot of work to do in this city — as the country does at large."
