In the quiet town of Lester, Alabama, a family dispute on October 30, 2021, ended in the death of 33-year-old George Michael Turner. The male victim was at his residence when a confrontation with his brother, Jason Chad Turner, escalated tragically. The Limestone County Sheriff's Office reported that Jason shot his brother twice, which resulted in George's death.
Following the incident, Jason Chad Turner was taken into custody without incident and subsequently arrested for murder on
November 1, 2021. He was later released on a $150,000 bond on November 9, 2021. The case proceeded through the legal system, and on February 24, 2022, a grand jury indicted Jason on the murder charge. He entered a not guilty plea and waived his arraignment on June 9, 2022. As of late 2022, the case was noted as pending trial, with a settlement hearing scheduled on the court docket.
