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 he admitted to shooting an Uber driver who had been tricked by a scammer to pick up a package at his home.
The fatal incident, which was captured on the female driver's dashcam, took place in the town of South Charleston 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 running up to the altercation.
One of the suspected scammers is believed to have messaged Uber delivery driver Letha Hall, 61, through the app to tell her 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 shockingly whipped out a gun and demanded she identify who had sent her.
