Ever since he made it to the NBA almost two decades ago, LeBron James has made a reputation for being one of the most outspoken leaders of the African American and minoritycommunities in the U.S.
Moreover, James has been at the top of the fight against racial injustice and the unsolved/uncharged murders of black men and women in the nation, especially since the social uproar caused by George Floyd’s death.
That’s why it wasn’t a surprise to see him taking to Twitter to demand justice for the terrible murder of Ericka Weems, who was the sister of his close friend Brandon Weems of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ organization.
LeBron James Asks For Justice In The Wake Of Ericka Weems’ Murder
“AKRON OHIO!! My brother’s sister was murdered this past weekend in her home! My brother family need answers to why and by whom. My city I need y’all to go to work and find out who did this awful, shameful, disgusting thing to such a caring, loving angel! #Justice4EricaWeems,” James tweeted.

Ericka Weems’ family found her body around 3.00 PM with a gunshot wound on her head and as of now, the city police still don’t have a clue as to who or why she was brutally murdered in her home.
James had been quite active on social media in the prior days and hours due to his involvement in the ‘More Than A Vote’ movement and Democrat candidate’s Joe Biden presidential campaign.

LeBron teamed up with Michael Jordan and multiple NBA and NFL stars to shoulder as much as $27 million in fines to allow over 13,000 felons to vote in this year’s election, while also taking a part in multiple initiatives to empower African American voters. That will continue to cement his legacy as one of the greatest leaders off the court.
