TL;DR Summary

An 81-year-old Ohio man, William Brock, has been charged with murder after fatally shooting 61-year-old Uber driver Loletha Hall, who arrived at his home as part of a phone scam. Brock fell victim to a phone scam where scammers claimed his relative was in jail and needed bail money. When Hall arrived to pick up a package, Brock confronted her with a pistol, took her phone, and refused to let her leave. After a scuffle, Brock allegedly shot Hall multiple times, leading to her death. The entire incident was captured on Hall's dashcam, and Brock has been indicted on multiple charges. Uber has banned the account that requested the driver pick up the package, and the sheriff's office is still searching for the individual who placed the initial scam call.
