NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – A grieving mother is furious to see her son’s suspected killer back on the streets, accused of shooting another victim in Nashville.

Oswaldo Corado, 19, is now back in jail following a shooting at Mill Ridge Park on Friday, Feb. 16. He was free on bond while awaiting trial for two separate murder cases.

“I’m upset. I’m angry,” Mamie Turner explained.

TN lawmakers look to stop repeat offenders with bond reform

For three years, Mamie has waited for closure after her son, 22-year-old Lee V. Turner Jr., was shot and killed outside of a bus station on Nolensville Pike on Dec. 16, 2020.

“I’m fighting. I’m fighting for Lee’s justice,” she stated.

Corado, who was 16 at the time Lee was killed, was one of two teens detectives charged with criminal homicide in connection with the shooting.

“I was just devastated and I’m still devastated,” Turner said.

Corado was later charged with another homicide that happened exactly one month before Lee was killed. Despite Mamie’s cries to keep Corado locked up, the teen was released on bond.

“Why give them a bond when they have more than one crime, heinous crime?” Mamie questioned.

Corado’s arrest over the weekend only fueled her fight.

“I about fainted. I almost fell out, to know that this perpetrator is still out here on the loose. They are trusting him because he paid for a bond, and he’s out here harming other families,” Mamie said, adding it’s a story we see far too often with repeat felony juvenile offenders.

“I’m angry. I’m so angry I can’t even cry any more, I’m that angry,” the mother continued. “I’m furious because the system have let me down. They have let me down, because I told them that this was going to happen.”

Mamie said the trial for her son’s murder is set for late August.

Meanwhile, she has been working with lawmakers fighting to stop juveniles from getting bonds when they commit a felony crime. Mamie also wants the death penalty to be an option when it comes to juvenile felony offenders.
