| [MAIL] An Ohio man has been charged with murder after shooting dead a female Uber driver who had been tricked by scammers into going to his home to collect a package. The fatal incident, captured on the driver's dashcam, took place in the town of South Charleston, Ohio, on March 25 at around 11:25am. William Brock, 81, told police he had been receiving fraudulent phone calls from scammers demanding money and had been threatened by them in the weeks leading up to the altercation. On the day of the shooting, one called him telling him a relative was in jail. They demanded money from him, then placed an order via Uber for someone to collect a package from his house. The driver was Lo-Letha Hall, 61. She was unaware the man was being targeted, and thought the job was legitimate. When she showed up, Brock shockingly whipped out a gun and demanded she identify who had sent her. |

| #1 SWATTED by Uber? Hall call 911? No, once the firing subsided, Brock evidently called 911. The police should be talking to Brock's neighbors and relatives. A forensic eval of Hall's phone should be done as well. In no way excusing Brock's actions, but there could obviously be more to this story. |
