"Uber Driver Fatally Shot in Ohio Home: Investigating the Misunderstanding"

Uber is assisting in the investigation of an account that sent a driver to the Ohio home where an 81-year-old man allegedly shot and killed the woman, mistakenly believing she was part of a scam targeting him. The driver was unaware of the scam call received by the man. The suspect, William J. Brock, has been indicted on charges of murder, felonious assault, and kidnapping. The FBI has issued an alert about government impersonation scams targeting older people, resulting in significant financial losses. The victim, Loletha Hall, was described as a devoted church member and talented cook, and had retired from Ohio’s Regional Income Tax Agency.
