Ohio man, 81, is charged with murder for shooting dead female Uber driver who was called by a scammer to pick up parcel outside his home - just moments after he was also targeted by menacing fake phone call

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.

Lo-Letha Hall, 61, was an Uber driver who had been called on a job to pick up a parcel from William Brock's home. Brock, who had been receiving scam calls moments before, believed Hall was there to take his money, according to officials 

Much of the scene was captured on the video camera in Hall's vehicle and released by the Clark County Sheriff's Office. 

Brock also allegedly took her phone and wouldn't let her leave, though he never dialed 911 or called for help, police said. 

There was apparently a 'scuffle' between the two, during which Brock asked Hall who she worked for, then he shot her again and then a third time after a 'further exchange.'

She was shot in the upper left side of her torso, one to the upper front of her left leg, one on the inside of her left knee and one in the center mass of her sternum.

Hall tried to get back to her car when Brock shot her. Afterward, Hall can be heard screaming in pain, while Brock threatens to 'shoot the other leg.' 

Hall was taken to a local hospital but died while undergoing surgery, authorities said.

Brock, who himself suffered injuries to his head and ear, called 911 only after he had shot Hall.

One of the people he suspected was scamming him and threatening him messaged Uber delivery driver Letha Hall (pictured left), 61, to tell him to pick up a package at Brock's home

Hall showed up at Brock's home and according to police, 'made no threats or assaults' toward him and just asked about the package. Fearing she was going to hurt him, Brock whipped out a gun and demanded she identify who had sent her

He told deputies - 'without being asked' as they put it - that Hall was there to 'take [my] money.' 

Brock said that Hall attacked him after he shot her by slamming his head into the door of her car and then tried to escape, so he shot her again, thinking she was going to get a gun of her own. 

'He provided he didn't want to shoot her but he thought she was going to kill him,' the incident report said. 

Brock is being charged with murder because he didn't call 911 and because there was 'no active threat presented by Ms Hall at any time during the encounter.' 

He posted a $200,000 bond but could face further charges after the incident is investigated further.
