Horn Lake police responded to a call about gunfire at a parking lot on Interstate Boulevard on June 8 at approximately 4:45 p.m. The Horn Lake Police Department is currently looking for Marshun Colbert, the man suspected of shooting a tow truck driver at the lot.

Officers arrived to find that an All Star Recovery tow truck driver had been shot while attempting to repossess a vehicle on the property. The truck driver drove himself to the hospital and was subsequently taken to another facility. According to WMC, the victim is still listed in critical but stable condition.

After further investigations, detectives found that Colbert, 26, of Memphis, Tennessee, had fired one shot at the driver during a verbal argument over the repossession of the car.

The car dropped from the lift and onto its side in the parking lot as the driver pulled off after being shot. When it fell off the tow truck, a woman who had been inside the car while it was being repossessed was taken to a hospital and released in stable condition.

Colbert is now wanted for aggravated assault, and he should be considered armed and dangerous, according to authorities.

The Federal Trade Commission states that if one fails to make their auto payments on time, their lender may be able to seize their vehicle without a court hearing or prior notice.

According to the organization, in several states, if you’re in default, the lender may be entitled to repossess your car at any time and without notice, and come onto your property to take it. However, the lender cannot “breach the peace” when they take it. Some states define breach of the peace as a lender taking your vehicle from a locked garage without your consent, threatening to use force, or actually using physical force.
