Professional Repo Man Fatally Shot in His Home
A man who made a living repossessing property was shot to death while two of his daughters slept in the next room.
Police have no suspects in Friday’s killing of Billy Allmon, 43, of Stockton, a professional “collateral recovery agent” and the single father of daughters, 8, 16 and 18 years old.
It’s not clear whether Allmon’s job as a repo man for Accurate Adjustments had anything to do with the shooting, police spokesman Sean Fenner said.
Allmon was with a friend when he heard a knock on the bedroom window, according to his boss, Shane Freitas, who spoke to the friend. After Allmon went to the window, someone started shooting, Freitas said.
Allmon worked with the company for four years and had never run into any serious problems, Freitas said. He often took his tow truck home with repossessed cars hitched to the back.
One neighbor said that in the past, some car owners confronted Allmon after following him home.
