Upon arriving, Deputies discovered 48-year-old Gregory Hostetler dead as the result of a gunshot to the head. Gregory Hostetler has been identified as the owner of Greg’s Towing & Recovery Mt. Zion which operated on the same site as Five Star Auto Sales. Greg’s Towing & Recovery is licensed with the state of Illinois Commerce Commission as a licensed repossession agency<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Deputies also found two other victims, the first is identified 18-year-old Kolby Sunderland, Hostetler\u2019s nephew who worked with him. He had been shot in the shoulder.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scott Flannery, a Sergeant in the Macon County Sheriff\u2019s Office, said it took some time to figure out what had happened.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cIt took probably a good half-hour or 40 minutes to get everything going,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd keep in mind, two of the people were at the hospital, so we had detectives everywhere. On scene at the hospitals, piece in this and piece in that. So, it was quite a chaotic scene there for a while.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Investigators found that Hostetler and Sunderland had repossessed a vehicle earlier in the morning and that 25-year-old Tiimon Perry came to the lot attempting to recover it. An argument over fees turned into a physical altercation in which Perry produced a handgun and shot Hostetler in the head.<\/span><\/p>\n

18-year-old nephew, Sunderland attempted to wrestle the gun away from Perry. During the fight, he was shot in the shoulder. Regardless, Sunderland managed to disarm Perry and turned the tables.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sunderland is reported as firing one shot at Perry. In the testicular area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both Perry and Sunderland were transported to Decatur Memorial Hospital. Perry was placed under arrest after he recovered from surgery. He remains in custody at DMH pending his ability to recover and be transported to the Macon County Jail for processing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sunderland was treated and released from DMH following treatment for his gunshot wound. Hostetler was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perry has been initially charged with First Degree Murder and Aggravated Unlawful Use of a Weapon. He is also being held on Macon County warrants for three counts of Vehicular Invasion and two Decatur Police Department person\u2019s wanted for Vehicle Invasion and Aggravated Fleeing and Eluding. Additional charges are likely pending a review by the Macon County State\u2019s Attorney. Perry was not legally authorized to be in possession of the firearm used in the crime.<\/span><\/p>\n

A GoFundMe page<\/span><\/a><\/strong> has been set up by friend and fellow repossessor Jason Kirby.<\/span><\/p>\n
