Port St. Lucie Man Sentenced to Life in Prison for Shooting Repo Agent Through Tow Truck Window

Omar Sueque, 61, was sentenced to life in prison on February 18, 2026 after being convicted of attempted first-degree premeditated murder for punching a 28-year-old repossession agent and then firing multiple shots through the tow truck window during a vehicle repossession dispute on January 25, 2024 in Port St. Lucie, Florida, according to CBS12. The victim survived the shooting; Sueque had been in custody for 755 days before sentencing.

Operator takeaway

A life sentence for shooting a repo agent sends a clear legal message, but the driver survived because the shots came through the window while he was in the cab — staying inside the truck during a confrontation may be the decision that saves your life.
