An 81-year-old Ohio man has been charged with murder after allegedly shooting and killing a 61-year-old Uber driver, Loletha Hall, in what appears to be a tragic misunderstanding stemming from a phone scam.
The incident unfolded when the accused, William Brock, fell victim to a phone scam involving a relative who was incarcerated. The scammer threatened and demanded money from Brock, who then called 911 to report he had shot someone on his property in South Charleston, whom he believed was trying to rob him.
