“He was a great father and a great husband; big heart, big heart,” she told NBC6. “My husband was murdered tonight. It was over a car that a man couldn’t complete. We paid him $2,700, and he didn't complete the job. He's had my job -- that car since March.”

Falls said that her husband was instructed to pick up a car that was having work done on it at a nearby autobody shop. But she said that the work was unfinished when her husband went to pick up the car, and alleged that a dispute ensued about only receiving a partial refund.

“My husband lost his life over $700,” Falls said.

Hollywood Police said all people involved in the incident remained at the scene and the shooting remains under investigation. Police did not say if any arrests had been made.

“I'm not getting any much of information from the detectives at this time,” Falls said. “To my knowledge, they say that they are questioning him [the subject].”

Police could be seen in the area of the shooting until approximately 7:30 a.m. Saturday.
