Uber Driver Fatally Shot by Alleged 81-Year-Old Scam Victim

Terrifying video shows an elderly man pointing a gun at an Uber driver before fatally shooting her. William Brock tells 911 that he shot the Uber driver because he had just been threatened on the phone by a total stranger and thought the driver and caller were working together. Brock said that the scammer ordered Brock to pay $12,000 or else. Cops say at the same time Loletha Hall, unaware of the circumstances, was instructed through the Uber app to pick up a package from Brock's home. Brock was charged with murder and has pleaded not guilty. Inside Edition’s Les Trent has more.

He was a victim of a phone call, she is a victim of murder. Big difference.

[stumando]

She was walking away and unarmed. Scam or no scam, he murdered her.

[sandraduckett]

He is not the victim!!! Let’s stop this narrative right there.

[miguelsoliz]

The only victim is the woman, the man was the aggressor.

[alexadams]

The old man executed her, he should be sentenced to the rest of his life in prison.

[Villy]

This story is focusing way too much on the scam call and way too little on he fact that this man just murdered someone

[andrealomax]

He took her phone, stopped her from leaving as she is backing away crying for help. He is pursuing her with a weapon and she's UNARMED! He was and is NOT a victim. He's a murderer!

[semiragualraya]

Being scammed does not give him the right to murder this woman.

[nimloc]

I find the visual from the victim very disturbing. Regardless of the old mam being scammed, he executed a woman who was just as elderly and defenseless. Even her calling for help and him still shooting was such a pointless, vile act.

She was so terrified. And he knew it. He knew she was terrified. How could he not. She was unarmed and trying to get away. He took her life because he did not stop to think.

[sublimeblush]

She was unarmed and non-threatening. He basically ended her in cold blood. Did he seem afraid for his life to you?

[zammmerjammer]

Someone calls you threatening to kill you. Then you hear a knock at the door... so you GO OUTSIDE?

[Jayswingler]

Old man was the victim of a prank call she was a victim of a relentless cold blooded murder. She also looked so harmless breaks my heart

[GotJay]

He’s still a murderer. That lady could hardly walk, what made her a threat?

[ohlordy]

The person that ordered the Uber trip set her up to die ... That person needs to be prosecuted.

[JinxNightcore]

This was definitely not self defense he killed her when she was unarmed and trying to get away

[Sibglings]

It’s unjust to label the murderer as a victim.

[Dreamscreamermusic]

He didn’t even get scammed. Why would you call him the victim? That’s so sickening.

[Dashinater]

She was literally backing away having zero threat and he continued advancing not only while pointing a gun but shooting her 3 TIMES WHEN NOTHING HAPPENED

[MariaBenjamin-umzk]

Who cares, she was not a threat walking backwards so he used excessive force and needs to go to prison
