An ex-girlfriend of former NBA star World B. Free was slain yesterday in front of her family's home in the Clinton Hill section of Brooklyn.
The victim, Audrey Johnson, 51, was visiting relatives in the neighborhood where she grew up when she heard a scuffle outside of the home. Her niece's boyfriend, Laquan Williams, 25, was being attacked by two men.
Johnson, attempting to intervene on Williams' behalf, was struck down by a bullet to the head when the perpetrators fired five bullets. Johnson's 14-year-old nephew, Daniel, was also shot in the leg and was taken to Kings County Hospital, where he is listed in stable condition.
According to police reports, the shots were not intentionally aimed at Johnson or her nephew; however, a police source at the scene said hat Johnson was indeed a marked target after she chose to step in and defend Williams, an ex-offender with quite a long rap sheet.
Brooklyn-native World B. Free, 55, whose birth name is Lloyd Bernard Free (he changed his name in 1980), had a 13-year NBA career. He played for numerous teams, including the Philadelphia 76ers, where he currently works as a community relations representative.
Although previously published news articles named Johnson as World B. Free's ex-wife, the reports are inaccurate. According to a 76ers' press spokesperson, "Free did have a relationship with Johnson many years ago; however, they were never married and this was in the past. While they haven't spoken in quite a while, he does want to extend his condolences to her family and friends."

Was it over a ripple bottle? Maybe someone should care for the troops dieing and spend less time on a bitch like this. Happy hunting.

The only ripple in this story is your assinine comment and ignorance. With your attitude you would probably feel the same if the murdered victim was a relative of yours. You are a cold-hearted bstrd with nothing else to do but spew your lack of compassion and abundance of ignorance in forums as this. Sure, our troops are dying overseas, but they are there to fight and end a war. This woman was trying to protect her nephew and prevent a war, per se. And, as far as the ripple comment, how many have you had the pleasure of drinking? From your attitude you are probably still downing them, that's why your brain is on a one way street going nowhere.

That comment might have been funny when you thought it in your head. But somewhere right now part of your soul has been damaged. You will see and feel the effects of this statement. Something will go wrong in your life because the world is a living breathing thing. It will give back to you what you put out in it. I feel bad for you. REALLY!
