the most disturbing thing is in America, this is treated exactly as entertainment, despite your earnest expressions. Even more worrying, is that in that insularity, many still view the US as the 'greatest' country on earth, even though insanity like this happens. When the "right to bear arms" was made, it was as a rebellious act against the European standard that only the upper class gentry elite could carry swords and any one else could be punitively punished on the spot, as the gentry person saw fit. Though, no one in the USA seems to understand this anymore and the right to bear arms, seems to be, "the right to behave like a brainless moron".
Good stuff those guys helping, I always help if I’m first and something I can do
Or only person not panicking, recently a ladie had a seizure by seafood bagels 🥯 her car was pinned under a truck at full throttle, I also didn’t know what to do but I reached in turned the car off , I was holding up traffic and knew police were in route , everyone asking if I called , of course lots people already did but no one wanted to intervene I actually asked the onlookers because I didn’t understand why they didn’t turn the car off . I think people are afraid of being liable
Sadly, she probably opted to do package delivery instead of people because she thought it safer
@@RcPlayer-tt2vw or if getting hurt.
She was trying to leave. He chased her down to kill her. He is guilty of murder.
GUILTY !!!!
GUILTY
Exactly
he will get off
@@kleamat no at the worst probably involuntary manslaughter.
The sympathy towards the old man is misguided, he shot her in cold blood please stop letting his age dictate his behavior and culpability, it’s disrespectful towards the actual victim.
His age has nothing to do with it. People empathize because he too was a victim. Obviously one can empathize on one hand and also believe he's guilty of shooting the other victim in this scam. I have yet to read one comment saying he isn't guilty.
@@snagglesmagoo2750 I understand, I just didn’t like the host being overly empathetic with the shooter during the vid. I do understand he was scammed but I would like proof he was threatened with violence by the scammers. I really hope they get those scammers and give them the same charges bc if they did threaten him they should be held accountable. I appreciate the discourse thanks
Exactly. Coddling this murderer
@@nuckinfuts7610 Look at you getting all mad like your opinion matters. How cute. 😂
And bec he is White
He murdered that lady in cold blood...PERIOD!!!😡
Exactly bc everything about these news reports screams damage control. Nobody is being honest or addressing the smug look on his mugshot
Right!!
Look whos getting away with Murder.
No he didn't.
@@theblue01 yes he did.
Man stop making up excuses for this killer
Right!!!
Who cares about whether he was scammed. This guy is a murderer and should spend the rest of his life in prison.
Because a death occured during a commission of a felony. There is another guilty person.Why are people slow lol. They already arrested the shooter, they need to go after the person who put this thing together. Are you saying Cult leaders are innocent? they brainwash people into committing crimes?
No, you want the scammed .he The reason this happens
Exactly.He was never in danger.
Exactly.He was never in danger.
At no point was that man in any danger.
He was the aggressor with a gun.
She was an elderly disable woman.
Who was defenseless and afraid.
As he following her, she's pleading for her life.
He ignored her please to live.
He disregarded every word she spoke.
He wasn't afraid, nor was he in fear for the safety of any of his family members in that moment.
He just didn't care about her life, so he took it.😢😢😢 2:02
That man wasn't that afraid, he followed the woman to her car. He was no longer in "danger" because she's leaving.
He was never in danger because she was just doing her job,
He was never in danger in the first place... !!! He should have called the cops!
Exactly! That’s what I thought too as I watched the intense video I said to myself, real scammers or thieves won’t just leave or be polite, the poor woman said Bye …the entire interaction she was polite with fear. Thieves don’t behave like that.
He could have called the police.. He had no justification to shoot that lady. The police scared the scammer away by saying they were the police??
He was never in danger of an overweight middle age woman. He had a gun. He was never in danger. Who told you that. From Uber
They made up their mind before even investigating. The overwhelming bias and sympathy for the perpetrators was disgusting.
Exactly 💯
Because he the perpetrators are yt
They heard a white man voice and a white shooter see the pattern
Yt people gonna be yt.
What happened to call the police? This man is a Horace king
He said she slam the door on his head. Why was your head near her door? Why was you not allowing her to leave? Why did you steal her phone and her life? Why did you say you were afraid but as we can see you were a bully waiting to kill? Why shoot her 3 times?
You was quick on your feet and now you act like like helpless person.
This was pure murder and you must be held accountable! 81 yrs of age isn't an excuse.
exactly he knew what he was doing he probably been did it back in his day...
Everyone is talking about that scammer but that man just murdered a woman in cold blood. There was ZERO reason to shoot her, no matter what the scammer said.
Exactly
If it was a dog it would get more attention.
@@MaryJaneJones. exactly but not a black dog tho
This is nonsense. Irrespective of the scam, he had no cause to murder her.
He was required to call the police, not take the law in his own hands.
Scammers have to be held accountable. The bozo detective stuffed up and told the scammer too much and she should have said she would send the package and where to meet. He would have still wanted the 12K that's why he called back IMO.
The man should have called the police in the first place instead of getting a gun and taking that women's life.
Exactly. That was cold blooded murder.
Everyone pretends they know what they would do. People tired the 🐂 💩. From my understanding this guy had been getting calls from this weirdo for awhile. FAFO is real and will continue to claim more victims. Her life could have been saved if she had just not been a scammer.
Why do black people half to go over this over and over again. This man kill this woman in cold blood.
This does not excussed this white man.
EXACTLY!!
No matter that it was.a scam, the man did NOT have right to shoot the poor woman over and over again. I have no sympathy for the scammer or him,
RIP beautiful lady,
At 21:40, as a 25 year police veteran the fact that he didn't call the police to meet the Uber driver is a problem. There is too much of this cowboy "good guy with a gun" crime fighter mentality going on in our country. Innocent people are being killed and otherwise good people have to go to prison for getting caught up in this wild west mentality. The fact that he was being scammed is a mitigating factor that will reduce his sentence. But at the end of the day he will have to spend time in prison for kidnapping and murdering that woman.
If he doesn't plea, I expect the prosecutors to hit him with the max. The man took matters into his own hands and killed a woman that was clearly over 60 who had trouble walking.
It makes me wonder why he didn't believe her and if his intent was to murder whoever showed up in that Uber.
You are the most logical comment I have 🙈 seen in this section. I totally agree.
You seemed confused. The most loss of innocent life is due to actual criminals with weapons. The stuff the news doesn't bring up because it doesn't fit their narrative. This is a horrible event, but It's not something happening often.
@@cmonson1354 Reading is fundamental not FOR da mental which is why I guess you didn't comprehend that I had been a police officer 25 years. Who in their right mind would try to "lecture" a police veteran on the sources of criminal activity? Of course, YOU would know more about criminal activity than me. If you REALLY believe the news doesn't report things that doesn't fit their narrative, how do you KNOW this kind of thing is not happening often?
@@zerotomillions1016 you being an ex leo is irrelevant to your " cowboy "good guy with a gun" crime fighter mentality" comment being an exaggeration. Your previous occupation doesn't make your comment infallible.
@@cmonson1354 something is wrong with you.
Cops blew it. You grab the victims phone, the real, actual dead victim, you coordinate with Uber, and you figure out where to "deliver" the package.
Unbelievable isn't it ? Like seriously unbelievably stupid of the cops
THANK YOU! OMG
They don’t want to find the scammers. If you give them the scammers in their hands they do nothing.
I'm guessing they need to start training cops in common sense
THANK YOU. EXACTLY! The way she was giving him info and practically being INTERROGATED by the scammer is ass-backwards. She sounded like she actually believed that the woman was a scammer along with the dude who called. I DON'T EVEN HAVE ENOUGH WORDS TO DISCRIBE THIS. They ABSOLUTELY BELIEVED that lady was a part of it. The big question is: WHY?
I'm not buying the sympathy for this man. He had an opportunity to call the police the minute he believed he was being extorted. He waited for the person whom he believed was part of the extortion to show up for the package, taking the law into his own hands. The defense of him being extorted, scammed etc. is a weak defense only because he had time to call the police.
Yep
The victims in this scam are threatened and their families are threatened if they talk to anyone else. While this sounds preposterous to most people it does work more times than anyone wants to admit. What the scammer doesn’t expect is for their victim to take direct, violent action. This is why they prey on the elderly. This said, the police were obviously unskilled in dealing with telephone scams. With some planning they could have sent a decoy in the Uber and a tracker in the package. Chances are the scammer isn’t even in the same state. They likely had someone receiving the package and forwarding it to them for a fee. Possibly even another victim from a separate scam. Law enforcement everywhere needs to understand the scams that are happening today and learn the best ways to help victims and report scams and scammers.
They announced themselves as police because they didn’t view her as a victim. They came on the scene and saw a black woman and automatically assumed that she was in on it so they didn’t care to hide the fact that they were police to further investigate.
Spot on. This is the most sensible response yet.
This makes me sick. They just assumed she was guilty of something. The response was 100 percent to support him. They'll never find the scammer.
What. On Earth. Are you talking about? 100% support him? The guy was immediately charged with EVERYTHING. Not finding the scammer does not help him AT ALL.
@@P2Reflectschannel-hh2zlvery humorous take. They have the criminal, but never even brought out the hand cuffs. No Miranda rights either.
@@Doc5thMech Seen a ton of frail people in their 80s be arrested? No, you haven't.
The criminal IS the scammer.
The cops treating this murderer like their long lost grandad is just beyond me🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
You already know why
The only thing that surprised me is that they offered him no tea, no coffee, nothing. I for sure thought they were gonna give him a cozy blanket to cuddle in until they chauffeured him to the palace?
I wouldn't be surprised if his nephew was part of the plan to extort money from him.
Them cops dumber than a bag of bricks. The scammer calls and they act like he’s trying to help with their investigation. HE IS THEIR INVESTIGATION. They deserve to be in jail after that weak attempt of justice
White privileged 😢😢
He had no right to kill her. He needs to go to prison.
I agree
He will, but it won't be for murder because that's not what it was. *Maybe* 3rd degree if anything
@tina1924-wt2cv Murder has a specific legal definition, this situation is no where near meeting that definition. This was manslaughter. Maybe learn about the law before spouting off like a dullard.
He was being told he and his family and anyone around him would be killed. It was not unreasonable for him to be brandishing a gun when someone threatening his life and the people around him showed up at his door to pick up the package. He should have assumed that they could have killed him on package pickup
@@SnoopCattsbut he hadn’t given the money to the driver, the driver wasn’t a physical threat to him either.
This guys a killer. He's no victim...the poor dead woman is the ultimate victim who paid with her life. The old fart still has a heartbeat unfortunately.
The police treated the murderer better than the black lady who got shot.
Right? I'm gonna need to see the timestamp of those body cams. She was clearly responsive after being shot so it's crazy that they couldn't save her.
why is this shooter being treat as if he was a victim he just killed an innocent person
You know exactly why!!!!!
White
🎯
because he was
@@beautifuldisaster139 he offed someone over a scam. His life was not in danger in any way. He stopped being a victim the moment he pulled the trigger
The “detective” should have pretended to be the Uber driver, tell the scammer you have their package, and ask where it should be delivered. BOOM-case closed. 🤦🏻♂️ That “detective” needs to be removed.
💯
Literally smh
How would that work... why would the uber driver be using his landline...
The scammer can literally see her through the app's GPS, so he knows her phone has been stationary for some time (assuming her phone stayed with the officers when she was life-flighted out, either way the dude knows something is up).
The Uber driver also already has the address to where the package is to be delivered, she gets this before she even accepts the trip.
Also, none of this explains why she's answering the old man's phone and not contacting him from her own.
What to you expect from people with no critical thinking skills, they hire anybody these days.
I am so far from understanding why the detective would tell the scammer who she is. Did they check with Uber about the location of where she was supposed to drop off the package? Couldn't they have set the scammer up? She literally blew the whole case.
The detective was investigating as if the woman was in on the scam, she was looking for a reason to justify the shooting. There was no reason to shoot! The murderer lied, she never tried to take $12,000 from him because he didn't have $12,000 for her to take. She was trying to get away from him during the entire assault. The only danger or threat came from the murderer. He chose to be Judge, Jury, and Executioner because she was black. There is no way he would've shot a white woman down like a wild animal.
He might have. If he really, really wanted to shoot somebody, the color wouldn't have mattered at all. An old man shot a white lady in front of her kid because he thought she was trying to steal his car. She was no where near it, btw. The car couldn't be driven, btw. Yet, that was the guy's defense. "Protecting" his property Relatives would later say they thought maybe he had "a little dementia". Another old guy shot his neighbor, also white, over some LEAVES, in the presence of the man's 8 year old.
Nope! 👍💯
Exactly
Right!!
right she pisssed me off
That detective seems incredibly naive. She totally blew it on the phone, twice
I agree. She got a second chance to do it right, but still bungled it.
@@Edgar-uj9fh I predict very few crimes are solved from that jurisdiction.
Yes, she is so dumb 🤦🏾♀️
A woman got killed. The old man told the police what happened, did they find out who the woman was that got killed. She should never had told him she was in an accident. No passion for the woman who’s dead.
Extremely Naive!
That lady regardless of the phone call to the man, she was begging for her life and even offered to call 911 so he murdered her in cold blood. 😢 All my Prayers for this woman and her family.
His only possible defense is to argue that he's incompetent because of dementia.
Reminds me of that documentary Evil Genius...people are very very sick these days especially
Scammers gonna scam
It also appears that Ms Hall was trying to leave.
What a sad, sad case and all so avoidable.
My Dad was clipped for almost $60 grand by Jamaican scammers before we kids knew it was going on. I would have clipped them myself if i could have found them. The FBI said there was nothing they could do.
Him not letting her leave is called Kidnapping and that should be an additional charge to his MURDER charge.
He murdered a innocent woman and treated like a good citizen unbelievably cruel
She plead for her life, he wasn't hearing her, and just killed her. She had no idea what was going on, and he just killed her. It's horrific hearing her pleading for her life.
Right!!
He never called the police until after he chased her back to her car where he murdered her. He should spend the rest of his life behind bars.
Big facts 💯
. Ummm, NO! I suspect he shot her because he realized she was getting away with harming his relative while stealing his money.
@@jack1uptone963 No, I think he thought he was being scammed or robbed by people using her to secure the package. The problem is he took the law into his own hands and killed her when she wasn't threatening his life in any way.
@brookeburkett6130 It makes more sense to believe it was racially motivated cause there was literally no reason to shoot a person under those circumstances at all. America especially is extremely dangerous for black people cause most white people always "pretend" it isn't racial if the suspected racist wasn't caught saying the N-word while harming a black person. If she had been a white woman, she would have had to do something threatening for him to shoot, let alone 3 times.
@@wildflowerhoneyhomestead We're gonna stick to the narrative that the suspected racist only shot her because she was black.
He should’ve stayed in the house and called the police PERIOD
Right!!
Use her name!!! This Uber driver, her, this woman. Use her name Loletha. Give her the respect she is due.
The fact that they treated the murderer like the victim.
White privilege
He once was a victim till he took matters into his own hands & shot the innocent woman.
hes white.. what you expect
I thought they were gonna offer him coffee or tea
He was a victim!!!!
The police screwed this up.
Right like how dumb???
Of course. They have the perp on the phone!
Law Enforcement screwed up.
They figure we got the old man we can charge him.
The scammer is the one who perpetrated all of this.
I feel for both victims.
This man is now screwed and the woman, rest her soul is gone.
Stay safe y'all...
🙏🙏💗💗
💯
How are those cops qualified for the job?
YUP they should have had a male cop answer and play along with the scam to catch the scammer!
The Judge: “the defendant has blue eyes, ima sentence him to probation”
White criminals. Whites love white crime
The option to call the police was there. He chose to be judge, jury and Executioner.
His privilege mindset also manifest into how the cops transported him to the jail.
That officer should face termination and interference in a murder investigation!
He is more worried about the call then the woman he just murdered. He didn't even view her as a real person.
Everything this man did was wrong. He played the roles of police, investigators, judge & jury, and executioner. He should spend the rest of his days in prison.
So you telling me that this man killed the poor woman and they're treating him like he's the actual victim OMG it's unbelievable.
The detective seems slow. They should not have let her handle that AT ALL.
Woman shouldn’t be in law enforcement
Yeah, but diversity is a strength for their department.
If the scammer gets away, it’s the detective’s fault. Why didn’t the detective play along with the caller to provide more info?? Why tell them the police is there?? Why not get Brock to tell the scammer to come get his money?? What did she think was going to happen?? Why is that detective so clueless with the scammer on the phone?? At least try to get more info from him. 🤦🏻♂️ 🤦🏿♀️ 🤦
She was supposed to play it off but she wanted to play hard.
Where do you want me to meet you?
@@davidt1621 OMG!! So what are you saying? Only WM(s) should be employable?
The old man should be in prison, she was no threat to him and should have just called the police.
This is disgusting how they're treating the murderer, sad!
Regardless if he thought she was part of the scam, you do not shoot an unarmed person who posed no threat.
The blonde haired lady detective cop person needs to be put under arrest for being incompetent
😂💯💯 I was getting irritated. She's acting like she had no idea what to say
You just can't arrest someone for incompetence. She needs, like most of today's cops, TRAINING.
I can’t believe she’s a detective. Just bottomless pit of incompetence.
Exactly
@@lindalove7193😂

Agree. Even the average person knows how to "scam" a scammer. Very frustrating.
That detective royally screwed this one up. If the scammer doesn’t get caught, it’s her fault.

She dropped the ball on that cause honestly, what was she expecting once she revealed it? SMH. The 2nd phone call wasn't any better. Man, I still hope they're able to fully track him through phone records.
Police aren't trained well or supposed to be highly educated...we are lucky they even talked to the scammer at all. They normally say "can't do nothin"
Her just being a female was a red flag 🚩
@@RcPlayer-tt2vwdiversity hire I’m sure.
Cops rely on their authority to scare people into talking. Nobody said they have to be smart. International scammers is a job for the FBI to deal with, or a project for an ex-intel community member with too much time and money on their hands...not a simple cop who got hired to meet HR's diversity goal.
She was trying to play tough guy. Like you really think he’s coming 😂
They really believed the Uber driver was involved because she is black so they didn't feel like they had to play along! Period point blank!!!
Even if he thought she was a part of the scam, she tried to leave!! He could have reported it to the police BEFORE HE SHOT HER! This is inexcusable! He had No right to MRDR her! PERIOD!!
There was no reason to shoot her 4 times. Why did the officer tell the scammer what was going on. They now have time to cover their track.
They probably didn't realize it was a scammer.
@@jemma6596 Does not matter. She was unharmed and moving away from him and he shot her 3 additional times.
The Officer 1000% dropped the ball. ZERO situational awareness.
@@lilithstribeWhy would the cops think the driver wasn’t part of the scam? I’ve never heard of scammers using oblivious uber drivers. It seems pretty reasonable to me that the cops would think if the old man was telling the truth about the scammers, that the lady was in on it too. They’re still at the scene. They haven’t had time to do all the investigating yet to realize she had nothing to do with it.
@@trickortrump3292 Instead of calling the scammer, when the killer said Uber driver. The cops should've called Uber.
Whyyyyy did the cops handle the call like that. So messy
Dummy should have played along to get info.
The nephew is involved. The person was younger and slow witted!
@@lwajid8021how do you know this?
They’re incompetent
I agree that the officer could've handled things differently. However, I think based on the information they had, which is that Lo-Letha was in on the scam (I don't think they knew at the time that she was sent by the scammer via Uber and had NO connection to them), the cop thought, if she told the scammer that their "accomplice" (Loletha) was hurt, that they would care and police can draw them in that way. I don't think the police realized she was not connected to them at all.
Still, they should've handled it differently and went along with the scam and draw them in that way.
I don't care how old he is lock him up if he was black he would be in jail
He would have never made it to jail… if that was a white woman laying on the ground and he was black he would’ve been shot immediately…. No questions asked…
A friend of mine received a call like that saying that his son was arrested and his bail was something like $3000, he asked where was being held he's going to get the money together, they called back but by that time his son was standing in front of him! Total scam, this guy handled this all wrong and he's guilty of murder.
Another thing/ the old man ONLY needed to call his nephew or his nephew’s parents to verify that his nephew is ok.
He was intent on catching the scammer his way!
Hell call the police station to verify
His nephew is incarcerated I believe. If I was the police I'd certainly be looking into him.
@@lindaaitken7679 💯 the moment i heard the story and the caller, I immediately suspected the nephew, relative, or someone who knows him or someone connected to someone he knows. they're legit trolling him.
I am IMMEDIATELY thinking, the nephew is the one scamming him
A case where the scammer is smarter than the cop 🤦
It's not that difficult.
Looks like everyone here in UA-cam is smarter than that cop 🤦🏻♀️
Bigger forehead than brain mass is crazzzzzy😢
And this is an old scam...but it keeps working
She was so set on letting him know she was the real police she couldn't do her job!!
I just can't get over how these police was so understanding and the amount of grace that was giving to this man. If it was a black man standing over a person that he just shot, it would have been a whole lot of "GET ON THE GROUND!! SHOW ME YOUR HANDS. " And I am 100% concinced that they wouldn't have listen to his side of the story.
Poor lady. Earning money the honest way and then has to go out like that.
I think if the lady had given brock the phone, maybe she could have distracted him or delayed him from shooting. Maybe she could have escaped.
What a terrible way to handle that call. Wow.
R.I.P. sweet lady. ♥️🙏🏼
He did explain everything with the exception that she wasn’t demanding the envelope, and that she was literally running away, slamming the car door on him, bcuz he had a gun
The cops should have said, "Your delivery driver was in an accident, and we are trying to deliver your package. Where do I need to drop this package off? We are trying to complete the job."
At least they would have gotten one step closer to the scammer.
This racist old man did not have to kill her. He didn't want to get the police involved. He was determined to kill her. He was not innocent. He was a cold blooded killer. She was unarmed. The pranker should be prosecuted to the fullest along with the murderer.
Exactly! If he thought she was a criminal, why not let her call police? 🤔
I wonder if it was a Caucasian Uber driver when he had did the same thing.
It's amazing how those officers were so calm and treated this man so gently after he just MURDERED someone!! They handled him with care!! I've seen people who don't look like him get treated VERY ROUGHLY by cops for far less than what he did 🙄
My thoughts exactly
They are the same race that's why
That's trash American cops for ya.
BLM too. ty.
His life was never in danger, he's a murderer.
Why he didn’t let leave is beyond me…. Both the Uber scammer and the old fool need to go too prison.
My heart is still in my stomach. I felt her fear. I am so sorry ma'am. I wish an angel would have stepped in
If he was being scammed why didn’t he call the police and have them waiting for the scammer when they came.
That’s what I wanted to know smh
Idk that I've seen a more incompetent officer than this woman!! If she only had a brain!
My heart goes out to this precious woman, I'm so angry at both scammer and the shooter!!!
She was 'flashing her badge of power, not being smart.

That precious elder woman was delivering money to a scammer, whether she was an Uber driver or not. Did Uber create a service of delivering packages between people that I was unaware of? If not, then why would she do this? Maybe she was being extorted by the scammers too. If so, that's very unfortunate indeed.
@@davidt1621yes there is a service where you pick up and deliver packages between individuals. She didnt know the package was cash in an envelope.
@@davidt1621people can get things collected and delivered. Pretty stupid of the scammer to do it that way though.
He waited all his life to kill somebody. That killing was unnecessary, he had the power of his gun. There was no threat to him. Killing was in him way before she was murdered.
Excellent police work! No rough stuff, no handcuffs, no body slam, concern for his health. I wonder why..........
He just murdered an innocent woman yet, they are more concerned with his safety? Typical!
Typical white supremacy!
They do not care! Because she is a black woman.
Because he is a victim. He's still guilty of the murder but still a victim of a larger crime. I guess cult leaders are innocent right, only the ones that they brainwash are the guilty ones? Charles Mason was innocent right lol This isnt your typical murder case
KKK always looks out for its own
Police handled things wrong
Yes ‼️
This detective is so dumb and stupid.
As usual.
The old man is Murder...he need to go to jail
So instead of tracing the call, luring the scammer to a location the stupid police woman decided to tell him the Uber driver was in a "serious accident" and that he is responsible and to come to the scene he strategically avoided during the scam? I don't know why he didn't show up?! Shocking!
Likely a burner phone so tracing it would've done nothing. But you're 100% right they couldve lured them out. Pretend to be her and drop off whatever they thought they were getting and then wait for someone to pick it up. Now that person is in the wind and won't ever be heard from again.
@@ultimateqmazing2537 Exactly, it was a burner phone for sure as he even called the police back and asked the extent of the injuries. But the stupid police woman saying "actually this is a sergeant with the police department" was completely moronic. The money was supposed to go somewhere.. Say she's the daughter, the Uber is on the way, get the guy to come back on the phone. Literally will never find who is responsible because of her
That police woman has no brains! Useless as a cop!
Like they do any other time!!! But in this case we’re calling from a landline and giving all the details job careers and all! This country is going to hell!
“20 minutes - let’s get ready!”
3 days later: “is he here yet?”
🤦🏻♀️
No matter what he believed he did not have to pull that trigger... STOP MAKING EXCUSES! He had her at gun-point, and all he had to do was to call the police... STOP MAKING EXCUSES! In the end, it would have come out that she was not a part of any scam, SO STOP MAKING EXCUSES!
He should spend the rest of his miserable life in prison.
This is completely ridiculous. He had no right to take that woman’s life. If he had waited and called the police, everything could have been explained. He should go to prison. I don’t care what he was told. You don’t make permanent decisions on temporary feelings. Call the police.
Law enforcement dropped the ball.
She even offered to call the police he didn't allow her too.
@@Victoria_USA_ The old man killed the woman. THEN, he called the cops.
I agree with the Attorney, the Police screwed this all the way up. Also, because she was backing up and he was hell bent on shooting her, because she was NOT a threat to him or anyone.
Meh.
The police MONUMENTALLY BUNGLED this, in the yet early stages of this investigation!!! Why on earth would you TELL the criminal/suspect that you're actual law enforcement??
Proposed better handling:-
1. Act like a family member
2. Tell the scammer that the driver had an accident
He's gonna ask if she collected package or ask for the man being extorted.
The man should come on the phone and tell him that the woman has the package but is gonna be taken to hospital. He should ask the scammer if he should take back the package or have someone else get it.
If he says let her keep it and take it with her to hospital, then arrange surveillance while working with Uber to track call source.
If he says take package from the driver, then he'll try to send another driver. This gives Uber time to track caller source. They would have gained valuable info and leverage fairly early.
So much compassion and generosity given to someone who just killed this Black woman! Let’s play devil’s advocate and say she was in on the scam, she wasn’t a threat
He was not In danger
Why are they pampering this man who brutally shot this woman?
Two reasons he is white and elderly man. I don’t care how anyone reads this. It is what it is.
Pretty much @@drinksnnonsense954
White male
Agree.
@@drinksnnonsense954 facts
Doesnt matter what happened before.....there was no threat. HE had the gun, she was trying to leave and offered to call the police. He shot her in cold blood. Theres no reality where this man is innocent.
This man belongs in jail. He had no business shooting that lady. Don’t care nothing about him being old. Put him in prison for life!!
It’s just this simple.. Same circumstances: If that old man was black holding the gun, shooting an unarmed old white woman, twice while she was trying to get away from him, begging for her life, while just doing her job. Would it be an open and shut case with more public outrage? There wouldn’t be a debate about a “financial” setup. He was in no danger with his gun already drawn, there’s no way to spin this otherwise. Let’s be honest here..
Completely honest, I may say! This case is absolutely horrific, and how long did the police call for help after their arrival? Even though the encounter with the old man was completely caught on tape, in their eyes, his actions were justified. SMH...
How dumb do you have to be to fall for a scam and then spend the rest of your old days in prison for killing someone that had nothing to do with anything! Seriously, I hope he rots in jail and may her family have justice! RIP!
A old white boy with a 3rd grade education
and never call his family to verify
How dumb do you have to be to think people dont fall fro scams, specially when they're elderly. They fall for them all the time, that's why they get targeted. Don't act all high and mightly like you wouldnt fall for a scam. With your attitude, you're the first one to join a cult 🤣
He's 81, he could be cognitively impaired.
He’s old, his mind is already gone
That cop Blew it, BigTime!!😡
I’m surprised they didn’t offer this murderer coffee or tea or something to snack on while waiting to be chauffeured.
Massive tactical error. She shut the caller down in about 10 seconds. Rookie error ! The police had so many options. Get into the Uber drivers car and take the money to the scammers and catch them. Omg they have blown any chance of getting this poor poor lady getting some justice. My heart is broken for her and her family 😢
lol I imagine in her head she truly thought “boom i did it i really am like Batman” - 😮
@@Stuarttttt😂😂🤦🏾♀️
Yeah, but the department is stronger in diversity. That's all that matters these days.
Ick @davidt1621 you are a misogynist.
The scammers are not there. Sadly, it's not that simple. The location would have been a money mule address. These scammers who do the 'kidnapped relative' scam are overseas, mostly in India, and use old scam victims as money mules to deliver the money.
I understand this was some scam bs but his ass didn’t have to shoot her and she was trying to leave I hope he’s prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!
Stop blaming her murder on the scammer. The scammer did not tell him to kill her. He did it all on his own.
that police women should be charged with obstruction
When cops are only required to have a high school diploma, this is the level of skill the public can expect.
Yeah, when I was growing up police officers were required to have a college degree. Now it seems all that's required is to be covered with tattoos.
Agree
Not as clever as criminals, eh? ;)
Innocently killed...begging to leave...still, shoots her. Begging for her life. 😢 Whether he believed in his mind or not...she wasn't a threat. The real scammer needs to be held accountable too!!! My condolences to the family.
Facts
Yeah but apparently in your country it's a death penalty offence to set a dumpster afire as per the Rottenhouse case.
Seems as though many gun owners in America feel as though they can shoot someone for knocking on their front door unexpectedly. I am so lucky to be British. Here in the Goldilocks Zone we don't get shot very often.
It was an older woman who had no idea what was going on . I’m so sad for her
@@outlawJosieFox haha... No one got $h0t for setting a dumpster on fire. You're confused.
That female detective wasn't the brightest bulb in the room. Did she really think that the scammer was going to just come to her???
He knew he was being scammed. He shot that woman because he was angry. How vile. Cops took one look at that woman and assumed she was in on it with the scammer. They tell the scammer his accomplice got hurt so he better come meet them. These detectives are so ridiculous.
Good point, cops could have taken the place of Uber driver and returned with the package to get the scammer
At the least, additional information.
Exactly
Exactly! That’s what I was looking for.
Sadly, it's not that simple. The location would have been a money mule address. These scammers who do the 'kidnapped' scam are overseas, mostly India, and use old scam victims as money mules to deliver the money.
Excellent thought here. Such an unfortunate situation 😢😢😢😢
