Montero, of Hyattsville, Maryland, worked construction and as a security guard. Two weeks ago, he took a job repossessing cars, NBC Washington reports.
it was just after midnight on Friday that Montero was trying to repossess a 10-year-old pickup truck in Fauquier County when the owner of the vehicle came out shooting, authorities said.
The tow truck and pickup truck ended up in a water-filled ditch. When divers tried to rescue Montero, there was nothing they could do to save him.
A sheriff’s sergeant reached the scene and discovered the suspected shooter, 53-year-old Carroll Gregg, pointing to the ditch and saying, “He’s in there dead,” according to arrest documents.
“I shot him,” Gregg allegedly said. “I shot, fell and shot again. It was an accident.”
Gregg is charged with second-degree murder, according to NBC.
