Tow truck driver’s family files to dismiss wrongful death lawsuit against Madison County man

 

MADISON COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) — The wife of a tow truck driver who was killed in a shooting in December 2023 has filed a motion to dismiss the wrongful death lawsuit.

 

On July 3, Ann Click filed to voluntarily dismiss the wrongful death lawsuit against Warren Siao for the shooting death of her husband, Jayson Click, without prejudice. The suit was initially filed on February 26.

 

The wrongful death lawsuit against 47-year-old Siao stated that in December 2023, Click was lawfully performing a vehicle repossession at Siao’s home when he was shot and killed.

 

The court documents state, “[Siao] negligently, recklessly, and/or wantonly shot an automatic firearm in the general direction of Jayson Click. As a direct and proximate result of Warren Siao’s negligent, reckless, and/or wanton conduct of firing his weapon in Jayson Click’s direction, Jayson Click was struck by the gunfire and died.”

 

The night of the shooting, Siao, his wife and the tow truck driver were taken to Huntsville Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division for questioning. Siao’s wife told investigators they were behind on the car payments.

 

The investigator said the tow truck driver told him that he and his partner, Click, spotted the car in an open garage at Siao’s house. After no one answered the door, they backed their truck up to the car and pulled it out of the garage to be towed away.

 

The investigator said that Siao admitted he fired 5-6 shots with a rifle, but he said he thought the men with his car were robbers.

 

Siao is currently out of jail on bond following his preliminary hearing. Ann Click filed to dismiss the lawsuit on the basis that she could re-file the cause of action whenever he is found.
