quote:

William Brock shot Loletha Hall on March 25, believing she was part of a scheme to defraud him, according to a criminal complaint. Hall was taken to a local hospital where she died.

quote:

Brock told police that prior to the shooting he had received threatening phone calls from a male caller who claimed one of Brock’s relatives was being held in jail, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.


quote:

Hall received a request on the Uber app to pick up a package from Brock’s residence, the news release states. Authorities believe she was “unfamiliar with the circumstances” surrounding the request.

According to the news release, she made no demands of Brock other than to ask about the package she was sent to retrieve


quote:

Uber has banned the account of the individual who ordered Hall’s Uber to Brock’s house, the company said. Authorities believe that individual was either the original scam caller or an accomplice, according to the release.

I read about this. Tragic.

This woman lost her life and this man will die in prison because of some scammer piece of shite.

Did he entertain no other options besides shooting the woman?

He shot her several times, because he thought she was a scammer? During broad daylight? Seriously? She made no demands and only asked to pick up a package? At worst he couldn't just hold the gun on her and ask to call the police? He had to just shoot her several times? I guess I need to hear more details, but this is messed up. I don't care what the scammer said I don't see how you can just shoot someone like this who doesn't appear to have anything in their hands. And it's an older woman in her 60s?

Since when did Uber become UPS? Never heard of them being called to pick up packages.

LINK

this link shows some video and explains more about the situation.

he says they claimed to have a relative of his in jail and wanted money to get him out? that they demanded money for bail. so he couldn't take the time to first verify who the relative was and if they were actually in jail. also, that's not how jail works. they don't threaten you.

what a fricking dumbass. this pisses me off immensely. none of it was necessary. she was retreating from him and trying to explain who she was. he even said, "the guy on the phone was threatening me." this is an older woman.

then the way he calmly talks about how he shot her is also disturbing. seriously screw his ignorant frick.

ahhhhhhhhhhh

I felt so bad for that lady when I saw the video. Old man clearly can see she was not a threat and shot her multiple times.

I just don’t get what exactly would cause the old man to decide shooting and older woman seeming necessary.

What a shame. Scammers preying on the elderly is an awful thing.

Young or old, I don't understand shooting someone who is no threat to you.

Sounds like some dementia, Junior Soprano kinda thing. Terrible for the unarmed lady though.

That psychotic old piece of shite can rot in prison until he croaks. Stole a life for what? Absolutely nothing.

Upon her arrival, she “did not have any idea,” Schultz said, according to the outlet. Brock confronted her, asking who she was working with, took her cell phone and blockaded her exit.

Hall was shot three times, Schultz said, and allegedly only after the third time “did he then make contact with authorities to report the incident."

I still don’t understand why the scammer sent a Uber to the old man house.

It says the scammer asked for a wire transfer. The old man refused.

I could understand if the scammer asked for cash or something. Also the Uber was in Ohio, the scammer allegedly was in Canada .

So in the scammers mind, what was the point of the Uber ?

Man either has dementia or just looking for any reason to shoot someone.

Probably has had his brain melted by watching news anchors tell him that people are actively trying to kill him and people like him on a daily basis.
