Bronx tow truck owner who ordered a fatal drive-by amid turf war faces life in prison

The operator of a Bronx auto body shop who swindled customers and insurance companies faces life in prison after pleading guilty to ordering a drive-by shooting targeting a rival tow truck company.

Christian “Coco” Lugo, 38, took over the Mott Haven body shop Certified Auto in 2019. That's where prosecutors in the Southern District of New York said he inflated repair bills and filed false claims.
