81-Year-old Ohio Man William Brock Charged With Murder After Shooting And Killing An Uber Driver Who He Thought Was Trying To Scam Him

According to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office, Brock had gotten a call from a scammer before the incident.

"Mr. Brock received some scam call by a person purporting to be someone from our courts who informed him a family member was incarcerated and that he had a bond of a significant amount of money," Lt. Kristopher Shultz said.

"The calls turned from 'I'm an officer in the court' to 'We have this subject hostage, this is a ransom demand."

The scammer then requested an Uber ride to Brock's home to pick up money. Hall, who had no clue what was going on, approached the front door and was met by Brock who shot and killed her
