An 81-year-old man is charged with murder after thinking the victim was connected to a scam. William Brock received a threatening call last month from someone demanding money. The scammers also called Loletha Hall, an Uber driver, to pick up a package from Brock’s home. Brock confronted Hall with a gun, believing she was connected to the threats. He is now charged with her murder. Warning: The video in this story is disturbing.

Life
Chick was unarmed, & could barely walk, & was fleeing, deff didn't need to shoot her…
Also, what was up with that dude's gun? It looked older then he was… 🤪
?
I don't believe his cockamamie story about thinking she was in on the scam. He had a gun and wanted to see it work and thought she was the perfect target. He looks so pleased with himself in the mugshot.
He's scared, with all of the control & a weapon? Straight nonsense 🤣
Even if she was connected to the scam he had no right gunning her down, your retirement has just been planned..
Brock needs to go to jail now.
HE was WRONG!! She was track leave he did not have to shoot her three(3) times!!
Free og
Last Month ???
🤦🤦🤦
he act like he got a call right b4 she came … SO THAT TRIGGER FINGER BEEN ITCHING FOR, 30 DAYZZZZZZZZZZ
This is short of Torture
Its😢😢😢😢😢😢
Whoever orchestrated this scam should be charged ASAP!!!! But this clown took it to the extreme when it could’ve gotten resolved by asking questions first and calling 911 FIRST!!!!! Pure evil. I feel so bad for that woman. You can see the fear on her face and she felt her death. Fix it LORD!!! 🥹🥹
I hope the scammers are charged as well.
This is crazy. She could barely walk straight. Who opens the door snd goes outside when they are afraid. Stay in the house and call the police.
He shot her in the back while she was trying to run away!!! What a Mo-Fo. 😮 May this devil never see freedom again.
Two victims? He’s alive!!!!
The only tragedy here is that he killed a innocent Black woman who he held a gun on & killed her anyway. He never gave her a chance to explain how she came about being there. She said she was leaving, and he shot her anyway. He was just filled with Hate.
Know your local laws when deadly force can be used.
Condolences to the Hall family. Rest in peace Lolitha.
Sister Hall (RIP) & Mr. Brock shame on you (fyi) there is a prison bed waiting on/for you. . .
He should turn off Fox News
Instead of his kids having to pay for a nursing home the taxpayers of the state of Ohio have to flip the bill for his stay in prison
You Americans need to have an age limit when it comes to bear arms.
It is not reasonable to have seniors who can't even remember their pin code running around with guns.
Why is he smiling?
This guy had way too many options, for starters, calling the police before the Uber driver ever arrived at his house… totally unjustified shooting!!!
So nobody caught the scammers?!?! Reporter had one job 🤦🏾♂️
He'll never do 1 day in prison. They'll find a reason to set him free.
Calling that murderer a victim is very disgusting but I expect nothing less when the ppl they harm are blk. That woman was fleeing that killer and he CHASED her down and shot her multiple times! Even if he was being scammed (more than likely by his own family) a death warrant should not have been the first response! Disgusting! That killer is not a victim.
Where is the mastermind behind the phone and the Uber app
That picture says it all, if she was actually trying to leave she must have eyes in the back of her head.🤔
only cowards carry guns lmao, her hands were open and clear
he's old, 1.5 years left
i bet you he shot her because she was dark skin
looks like the "well regulated militia" needs more regulations.
If he was a cop they would be saying that he acted reasonably based on the information available to him. Cop who murdered Andrew Finch just got promoted.
**ANTI GUN BOTS**
Both families have lost 😢
Condolences to her family 🙏🏾
They should find the scammer and charge him also, he sent that poor lady there!
This guy needs to spend the rest of his days in prison.
He looks evil
So he's locked up thanks to someone who set them up.. good job America 🤡
All the callers fault.. the end!
the sort of things that just make you so angry. No justification for this.
