Repo Agent Shot, No Arrest

Brockton, MA – September 9, 2025 – On a quiet morning just after sunrise, shots rang out in an otherwise peaceful suburban neighborhood. When the dust cleared, a repossession agent had been shot. Police applied a tourniquet and rushed him to the hospital. Despite the mayhem, no one was arrested.

It was just after 6:30am on Tuesday the 9^th when gunfire filled the air on Willow Street in Brockton. One neighbor commented to reporters: “Four loud shots. Like four or five. I was like those are definitely gunshots. It woke me up for sure,”

Shot in the leg, the unnamed repossessor found his way to safety at an apartment building on North Main Street and asked one of the neighbors for help.

Officers quickly responded to the 911 call and applied a tourniquet before Brockton Fire and ambulance finally arrived. The agent was then transported to a Boston hospital where “He appears to be doing OK,” Brockton police spokesperson Darren Duarte said.

The agent injuries are reported to be non-life-threatening. Odd enough, Police say the victim “may have” come to the house to repossess a car when someone from the home allegedly shot him. Why they couldn’t be certain is strange.

“There are a lot of factors we are looking into, including that. But we are trying to find all the facts, and gather all the facts for the investigation,” Duarte said.

According to neighbors, this is a quiet neighborhood that has seen very little violence recently and it is said that the people who live in the home from which the shooting is alleged to have been fired are very kind.

“Never had any issues. Great neighbors, he’s a good guy he works hard, he’s got kids,” reported neighbor Cheryl Olsen who also said. “I don’t really quite understand all this.”

Although Police did bring a person of interest in for questioning, so far, there have been no charges or arrests made.
