A memorial tow truck procession was planned for Steven Hughes, the 46-year-old South Carolina repo agent who was shot five times and killed on June 12, 2024 in Columbia while repossessing a vehicle that did not belong to either of the two suspects charged with his murder, according to CU Repossession. Hughes was killed five days before his birthday.
