Detroit Repossession Agent Testifies About Shooting

“She was trying to kill me,”

Detroit, MI – July 2, 2025 – Additional details about the June 15^th shooting at a Repossession agent were revealed at a brief hearing on Tuesday. Following testimony from the repossession agent and responding police, accused shooter Shaquanda Tankersley now faces additional charges.

In testimony, Police officers reported that at 2:58 p.m. on June 15^th, they pulled up to a home on Nottingham on Detroit’s east side where the Tankersley was taking aim at the still unnamed Repo Man. The agent testified that he feels lucky to be alive after a bullet whizzed through his hair and the back of his truck.

“I noticed a woman coming down the street as I was strapping the vehicle. I noticed cops coming down the street as she was yelling ‘he stole my vehicle, get him!” he testified.

“The car owner came and tried to stop the repossession, said something to the effect of ‘you’re stealing my car,’ and fired multiple shots at the repo man and his truck,” Detroit Police Chief Bettison said. “Our officers fired shots at the woman, subsequently striking her multiple times.”

On the stand on Tuesday, the repossession agent testified that Tankersley yelled at the officers before firing 3-4 gunshots at him.

“Once she started shooting I was jumping in the truck and taking off. I don’t know if she went right, left, or keep coming at me,” he said. “I know she hit her vehicle and the back window of my truck.“

The agent felt the woman had one thing in mind.

“She was trying to kill me,” he said.

Tankersley appeared in court with gauze on her back from the gunshot injuries sustained by the police and is charged with assault with intent to murder and felony firearm charges.

The police officer who shot Tankersley is still under review by state police and Detroit Police.

The judge ruled that there was enough evidence to send Tankersley to trial in circuit court, while also adding additional charges of assault and felony weapons charges. Tankersley  is due back in court on July 15th.

As previously reported, this was the second shooting at an agent from this company in two days. Fortunately, neither were injured.
