Fatal Repo Shooting Ends with 55-Year Prison Sentence

Three years after the fatal shooting of repossession company owner Jayson Click, the criminal case has reached its conclusion with a lengthy prison sentence for his killer.

A Madison County, Alabama, judge sentenced Warren Siao to 55 years in prison on July 17 after a jury convicted him of murder in May. Prosecutors said Siao fatally shot Click while Click, owner of B&S Collateral Recovery, was lawfully attempting to repossess a vehicle on April 18, 2023. Circuit Judge Ruth Ann Hall ordered Siao to serve the sentence in the Alabama Department of Corrections.

The case drew national attention throughout the repossession industry, where Click's death became a stark reminder of the dangers recovery professionals face on the job. The prosecution was delayed by multiple court proceedings, including issues surrounding Siao's failure to appear, extending the case for more than two years.

Following several days of testimony from investigators, witnesses, and forensic experts, the jury found Siao guilty of murder. The 55-year sentence closes one of the industry's most closely watched homicide cases. Click's death occurred during what became the deadliest year in the repossession industry's recorded history.
