Ethan Liming was the son of Bill and Jennifer Liming, who live in Akron. He had two sisters, Emma and Ella. Ethan was a star athlete and an honor roll student at Firestone High School.
Bill and Jennifer Liming are devastated by the loss of their son, who they say was trying to defuse the situation and apologize to the men after the pellet gun shooting.
They have been seeking justice for Ethan ever since, attending every court hearing and speaking out to the media. They have also been coping with the grief and trauma of losing their child in such a senseless way.
They have received support from their family, friends and community, and the LeBron James Family Foundation, which runs the I Promise School.
Bill Liming said he hopes that Ethan’s death will serve as a wake-up call for young people to stop engaging in dangerous pranks and to respect each other. He also said he wants the men who killed his son to be held accountable for their actions.

But, Ethan’s parents were disappointed when a grand jury reduced the charges against the three men accused of killing Ethan from murder to involuntary manslaughter and assault.
They said they felt like the justice system had failed them and their son.
