Florida Man Sentenced to Life in Repossession Shooting

A violent confrontation during a vehicle repossession has resulted in a life prison sentence for a man in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

On Tuesday, a judge in St. Lucie County sentenced 61-year-old Omar Sueque to life in prison following his conviction for attempted first-degree murder with a firearm, according to court records. A jury found Sueque guilty on December 3, 2025, of attempted premeditated first-degree murder and burglary of an occupied conveyance with assault or battery.

The charges stem from a January 25, 2024, shooting. Authorities said a 28-year-old repossession agent was attempting to repossess a vehicle at Sueque’s home when the encounter turned violent. Investigators said Sueque confronted the tow truck driver, punched him, then retrieved a firearm and fired multiple shots through the truck’s window, striking the victim several times.

Both men called 911 around 12:20 p.m., police said. The victim survived the shooting. Sueque received credit for 755 days already served and was taken into custody immediately after sentencing. Sourcehttps://cbs12.com/
