An 81-year-old Ohio man has been charged with murder after he allegedly shot and killed an Uber driver he thought was trying to scam him.
William Brock has been charged with one count of murder in the Clark County Municipal Court, in connection to the death of 61-year-old Loletha Hall.
A local CBS station reported that the Clark County Sheriff’s Office said last month that Brock called 911 to report he had shot someone on his South Charleston property who was trying to rob him.
First responders arrived on the scene and found Hall on the ground suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, and Brock with injuries to his head and ear.

A gunshot immediately gets fired and Brock says, “Nope. You’re not leaving,” and demanding her to give him the phone.
Hall can be heard horrifically screaming for help when five more shots are fired off, followed by Brock, again, telling her to give him her phone.
Hall continued to scream, and the dash footage captured Brock saying he would shoot her in the head.
“Don’t do that. Please don’t,” Hall said.
Hall was shot as she attempted to get in her car and leave, while Brock was injured during a scuffle between the two at the car door. He allegedly shot Hall two more times.
The sheriff’s office did not respond to inquiries from Fox News Digital about the incident.
Uber told Fox News Digital they have spoken with Hall’s family and are keeping them in their thoughts.
The company also said the account for the person who ordered the Uber service has been banned.
“This is a horrific tragedy, and our hearts continue to be with Loletha’s loved ones as they grieve,” an Uber spokesperson said. “We have been in contact with law enforcement and remain committed to supporting their investigation.”
