27-year-old Edward Morena was taken into custody for unlawful exposure, violating an order of protection, and domestic assault on February 27th. On October 23rd, Genesis Jose Mendez Castellanos, Morena’s ex-girlfriend, told officers that she obtained an order of protection against him, which was served to him on September 25th, due to prior attacks that happened in Panama City, and then advised she came to Tennessee to get away from him. Castellanos told them that on October 1st, Morena sent an intimate video of them to her family and Jose Gonzalez before blocking him. She provided screenshots of her mother receiving the video and told officers that it was supposed to remain private. Then, she explained that on October 3rd, Morena threatened her via audio messages, saying he would shoot himself after shooting her and everyone else. Castellanos then told them that on October 7th, he messaged her through WhatsApp, which she uses to speak with their 7-year-old. She said it had to have been Morena because her child cannot spell in Spanish.
Edward G Morena was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on February 27th, charged with domestic assault, order of protection violation, and unlawful exposure. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $15,000.
