Authorities say a man fatally shot the owner of a tow truck company during a dispute over $285 he owed for his impounded vehicle in Parramore.
Orlando police tell news outlets that 35-year-old Tremain Polk was arrested Tuesday evening. He is accused of first-degree murder in the death of 53-year-old Paul Gren.
Polk allegedly went to the Tow Truck Company at 639 W. Robinson Street to pick up his vehicle just before 6 p.m. Tuesday. Polk only had $135, and he became angry when an employee said the bill was $285.
Police say Polk tried to enter the office, but stopped when the employee said she'd call police. He then jumped a fence, got into his car and was confronted by Gren.
An affidavit says Polk fired three shots at Gren from point-blank range. Officers responded and found Gren, who was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Polk fled and was arrested a short time later. His gun was recovered.
He was taken to the Orange County Jail.
