A man is accused of fatally shooting a service technician from the American Automobile Association after he became irate about the response time for service on his dead car battery.

Jesus Esquivel, 63, from Miami, Florida, reportedly shot Magdiel Hernandez, 38, multiple times on Tuesday afternoon.

Esquivel, a disabled Navy SEAL veteran, got into an argument over the phone with a service technician about the length of time it would take for him to get a new car battery for his 2003 Cadillac Escalade, the arrest report says.

He threatened the driver, who then asked his bosses to have another driver sent to Esquivel's house.

The company dispatched Hernandez, who had worked for the organization for ten years, according to his family.

When Hernandez arrived at the home south of Miami, Esquivel opened fire, hitting him several times in the torso, according to police.

Hernandez's uncle Roberto Flavio said he was shot as many as seven times, the Miami Herald reported.

Hernandez died at the scene. His body was found beside his AAA truck.

Flavio told the Herald that Hernandez had a fiancée and was a religious man who went to church every week. His mother and grandmother live in Nicaragua.

'It’s unbelievable, you know,' Flavio said. 'He’s a very good guy, good service-minded individual that’s been working and doing this for years. I can’t believe. I’m in shock.'

Police received a call about an argument and a shooting just after 3pm on Tuesday.

'We received a 911 call that two males were involved in a verbal altercation,' said Miami-Dade police Detective Argemis Colome.

'One man was shot several times and was announced deceased on the scene. The other individual involved in the altercation requested to be transported to a nearby hospital.'

Esquivel requested to be taken to Baptist Hospital for medical attention and early Wednesday he was released into police custody.

Colome said Esquivel did not cooperate with police at first and would not say how many times he shot Hernandez.

After questioning, he eventually admitted to shooting the technician.

He is being held at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center without bond on a second-degree murder charge. A lawyer isn't listed on jail records.

Police conducted a search of his Esquivel's home after his arrest and the bomb squad found novelty grenades, according to WSVN.

The outlet reported that Esquivel had shown threatening behavior before to other AAA employees.

Flavio said: 'This man has to be a very disgruntled kind of guy to have done what he did.'

AAA released a statement saying: 'We are profoundly saddened by this tragic incident that took place today. On behalf of all of us at AAA, our heartfelt condolences go out to the victim’s family and friends during this most difficult time.'

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the family.
