An Alabama judge ruled that Warren Siao may not invoke stand-your-ground protections at trial for the December 2023 on-the-job shooting death of tow and repossession technician Jayson Click in Harvest, Alabama, according to WAFF Huntsville. Prosecutors presented security footage showing Click's crew rang the doorbell before beginning a legal repossession — investigators recovered 16 shell casings at the scene — and the murder trial is scheduled for June 8.
Operator takeaway
A documented, legal repossession with doorbell contact and written authorization did not protect Click on the job. Operators doing repo work should carry body cameras and log every step of the approach — the footage is now the foundation of the murder prosecution.
