MEMPHIS, Tenn. — An 18-year-old charged in the shooting death of a 15-year-old in Binghampton was released on his own recognizance.
Edio White, 18, and Connor Tucker, 15, were arrested and charged Thursday with first-degree murder during perpetration of a robbery, criminal attempt especially aggravated robbery, and unlawful possession of a weapon.
Records show White was released on his own recognizance Monday.
That brought a reaction from Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) on X Tuesday morning.
“Criminals belong behind bars. NOT out on the streets,” Blackburn wrote.
According to Memphis Police, Anthony Mason, 15, was shot and killed in the 300 block of Vandalia Street after 2 a.m. Thursday. The suspects left the scene in a silver or grey vehicle.
Police say White admitted to driving the vehicle and Tucker confessed to the shooting.
White is scheduled to appear in court on December 5.
