Uber driver, 61, shot dead by Ohio man, 81, who was being targeted by scammers was a church-going mother who started working for the app after retiring from her tax day job

An Uber driver who was shot by an 81-year-old Ohio man was a church-going mother who started working for the app after retiring from her job at a tax agency.

Lo-Letha Toland-Hall, 61, was shot dead by William Brock in the town of South Charleston on March 25.

The two had been targeted by scammers when Hall, known as Letha, drove up to Brock's home to supposedly pick up a package.

Hall was remembered as a beloved mother and entrepreneur at her funeral last week. She attended Ohio State University for horticulture, and was an avid gardener, as reported by the Springfield News-Sun. 

She leaves behind one child, Mario Hall, who she is said to have had an 'unbreakable bond' with.

An 81-year-old Ohio man has been charged with murder after he admitted to shooting an Uber driver who'd been tricked by a scammer to pick up a package at the man's home

Mario Hall wrote on Facebook: '[She] was my best friend, my heart and my light. Her presence and unconditional love will be sorely missed.'

Brock told police he had been receiving fraudulent phone calls from scammers demanding money and had been threatened by them in the weeks running 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 who picked up the job was Lo-Letha Hall, 61. She was unaware the older man was being targeted, and thought the job was legitimate. 

When she showed up to collect it, Brock shockingly whipped out a gun and demanded she identify who had sent her.

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

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

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

DailyMail.com has reached out to Uber for comment on this story. 

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, only called 911 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.
