Knoxville, TN (TLS). Eric McLean, the man who is charged with murder in the shooting of 19-year old Sean Powell, has been released from jail on bond. McLean's bond was set at $150,000 at a court hearing earlier in the month.
McLean's wife, Erin, had been a student teacher from the University of Tennessee, doing a teaching internship at West High School in Knoxville. It was there that she met a student by the name of Sean Powell.
An altercation occurred at the McLean home when Powell reportedly went to see Erin. Eric McLean has stated that he knew of a relationship between his wife and Powell, which was confirmed by his own son when the son informed his Dad that he had seen his Mother walking hand-in-hand with Powell at a nearby park.
Sean Powell's mother also confirms that her son confessed to her concerning the affair.
On the night of the shooting, Eric McLean called 911 to report a break-in. Minutes later Erin Powell called 911 to say that her husband had shot Sean Powell outside their home.
Powell had reportedly slept outside the McLean home for several nights in his auto.
Eric McLean was apprehended by police several hours after the shooting as he walked down a railroad track carrying a gun. He had left his vehicle parked at the school where his wife had taught and met Sean Powell.
According to the terms of his bail, Eric McLean is not allowed to have contact with either his children or his estranged wife, who is living with relatives in Nashville.
