A 30-year-old Tampa man is dead after being shot by a tow truck driver.
The shooting happened early Sunday morning near the Sugar Shack bar, located on Hillsborough Avenue and 56th Street.
The tow truck driver, 41-year-old David Montanez, had just towed a vehicle from the area. According to investigators, Montanez said that when the owner of that vehicle, 30-year-old Glen Rich, got into an altercation with him, he feared for his safety and fatally shot Rich in self-defense.
As of Monday morning, no charges had been filed.
Weeks later, tow truck driver charged in man's shooting death
Three weeks after a deadly shooting involving a tow truck driver and a father of five, murder charges have been filed.
Donald Montanez, 44, is now charged with second-degree murder. He's accused of shooting and killing glen rich last month near the sugar shack night club.
Investigators say Montanez shot rich when rich tried to stop Montanez from towing his car. Montanez reportedly told deputies that the shooting was self-defense, but investigators apparently disagreed.
