The repossession agent, who Port St. Lucie police said was shot six times on Thursday , called 911 himself, according to records released by police on Tuesday.
Police said Triston Hastings, 28, was shot six times after he tried to repossess Omar Sueque’s car. Hastings was released from the hospital and Sueque is currently facing multiple felonies including attempted murder.
According to the recordings, which WPTV received from a public records request, Hastings believed he was only shot two times in his back and shoulder. He also screamed for help multiple times to the 911 operator.
“I got shot. I got shot. I got shot. I got shot,” Hastings said. “…Help. Help. Help. I got shot.”
He told 911 operators the shooter ran into the house and stayed on the phone while neighbors came to his aid while waiting for officers to get on the scene on the 2000 block of Southwest Villanova Road.
“I’m starting to shake,” Hasting said. “…This doesn’t feel good at all.”
Video neighbors shared with WPTV shows the events leading up to the shooting. Those events include a man standing in between the tow truck and the car, a man punching the tow truck driver and the tow truck driver getting out of the car to approach the man.
