A 23-year-old Maryland man who had taken a job repossessing cars so he could buy a wedding ring for his new wife died over the weekend after a Virginia man shot him twice.
Fauquier Now reported that Junior Jordan Montero died while he was attempting to repossess a 10-year-old pickup truck in Fauquier County early Friday morning.
When Sgt. Darrell Shores arrived on the scene, 53-year-old truck owner Carroll Edward Gregg Jr. told the deputy that the shooting had been “just an accident.”
“He’s in there dead,” Gregg said, pointing to the ditch. “I shot him,” he allegedly explained.
“I shot, fell and shot again. It was an accident.”
Divers attempted to rescue Montero from the water-filled ditch where his tow truck end up, but it was too late.
Gregg told officers that it should be against the law for vehicles to be repossessed “in the middle of the night.”
Yes we could make it illegal to repossess vehicles at night when they are most likely to be at the residence, or perhaps we can make it illegal to shoot at people lawfully taking them back after the owner irresponsibly stopped making payments on them.
Oh wait, that is illegal.
I don't think any of us should be surprised by this, after all if people are now opening fire on police officers, and threatening BLM agents, why would we not assume that repo men were targets as well?
This is the country we live in now folks, remember to stay low.
