Lee Vern Turner Jr., 22, was fatally shot outside the Tornado Bus Station at 4031 Nolensville Pike in Nashville on the afternoon of December 16, 2020. Authorities say the killing was not random; investigators concluded Turner was specifically targeted in retaliation for remarks he had made against a local gang.

A witness provided a description of a getaway vehicle that led detectives that night to a Southgate Avenue residence, where a 16-year-old, Oswaldo Corado-Callejas, was taken into custody. Corado-Callejas reportedly implicated himself in Turner’s death and was charged with criminal homicide and booked into juvenile detention. Police said at least one other arrest was expected.

In May the following year, a traffic stop produced the arrest of 17-year-old Jonathan Morales-Perez after officers found seven firearms and detected the scent of marijuana in the vehicle he was driving with three other juveniles. Morales-Perez was wanted for questioning in Turner’s killing, admitted involvement during an interview, and faced two counts of criminal homicide. Both Corado-Callejas and Morales-Perez were later named co-defendants and their cases were transferred from Juvenile Court to Criminal Court. Corado-Callejas was arrested again in February 2024 on new aggravated assault charges while out on bond awaiting trial.

Does anyone have information about Turner, those present at the bus station that afternoon, or the vehicle described by the witness?
