He's no victim he needs to be in jail 😡
Shut up you overweight b
He protected his property from a ghetto thug. Next time stay in africa
Exactly shit makes me sooo 😡 mad
They were both victims of the caller He belongs in jail not elderly man
@@dar7230 That elderly is a victim too but he however murdered that innocent woman so he does belong in jail for that irregardless that he is a victim from the person or people who masterminded this sick shit the bottom line is he cheated that poor woman out of her precious life that God gave to her that he had no right to take that should be obvious‼️🙄🤷🏽♀️
People need to stop using age as an excuse. It doesn't matter that he was supposedly scammed. He came out of his house chasing an unarmed woman, who was walking away from him, with a gun. He didn't intend to scare her, he intended to unalive her. So, he should go to prison right along with the scammer.
I agree with you, she was obviously backing away from him, his life was not in any danger. I feel for Ms. Hall and her family. She was 61 driving Uber that means she was just trying to making a living or supplementing her income with a side job. God this is truly sad.
@patriciareyes7561 That poor woman, unfortunately, fell for what was obviously an indirect hit on her life. When the actual police officer asked him if he knew the woman he had sent to the house, his response was "Yes I do". But, it's even scarier if he didn't & just wanted to put someone's life in danger.
@@TalesForTheCulture I know, to say he knew her and clearly it seems he did not. I understand that the police traced the scammer/(s) to Canada and Uber deleted the account. I hope they can find them because they are as responsible for Ms. Hall's death as Mr. Brock is. You can see how scared she is when she backing away from him, just look at her face to be on this earth for 61 years and this is how you leave it, its rough. God I hope her family is okay, I am not overly religious but I have been praying for her and them ever since I saw this story.
It doesn’t matter that was “supposedly” scammed??? How pathetic are you, honestly? Truly a clown comment, thanks for showing how incredibly idiotic you are
Amen.
Who walks toward the person that you claim to be scared of?
That part, he needs to be in jail
Exactly!
Exactly: I feel like the whole thing was a set up to kill that woman driver from the beginning. Especially if she's been at his house before. I've had repeat Uber drivers 🤷🏽

Why is the cop patting this guy on the arm to comfort him. He's a murderer.
Yeah, unconscious bias is a helluva thing. That white cop looks at him and see his old white dad, there would be no patting on the shoulder if that was a black cop on the scene.
the old guy didn't wake up that morning with intent...the only scam he fell victim too is believing what he was hearing on the phone that some super secret assassin was going to kill him if he didn't hand over 15k...back in his day people didn't lie like that and make stuff up..if they said it they meant it...he probably believed on the other end of the gun was the person that had been calling him he is too unaware of technology to realize what's going on...still though this isn't the wild west you don't get to just blast people who may or may not be involved in a crime...he did murder that poor woman unfortunatly for him
He tapped him to get in the car you retards...
@@mauricioh7376yup because because the innocent lady dying could have just as easy been his mom if she was in that situation. I have no sympathy for the old guy. We have courts for a reason
yo peep the old guy lied when talking to police. He said the old lady was threatening him, he may be old but he's smart enough to lie about the situation
EXACTLY 💯
He should have dialed 911 if he felt danger. Why open your door? He went after her. Why?
And smart enough to call 911 AFTER the fact. He did it with premeditation and malice. He took advantage of the situation and had a perfect victim, an old limping lady.
Out on bond? Dude just murdered someone point blank with zero justification. How did our entire judiciary suddenly go insane?
They sure were nice to the murderer.
One thing I've noticed, we're interrogated. They're interviewed. If that doesn't say it all...
Exactly.
yeh you see the way the cop was patting his back like he did a good job. wtf
and the old bastard has a smug face.
@@TalesForTheCulture Why are you turning this into a racism thing you moron. They would've treated him the same if he killed a white woman instead.
@@8280JKJKhe was proud of him. disgusting
He needs to be in JAIL!
Systemic racism “ He is a victim of a scammer . Just like Uber driver lady
@@zainzoala1083 Did the police find out who called her to that address pick up the parcel?
@@zainzoala1083
He had no reason to shoot her. Can't justify that part.
If scammers called you in the morning, why didn't you call the Police that morning 🤷🏽
If this was a younger person they still be in jail. Just because he is 81 yrs old he should have stay in jail murder is murder there no justice . I feel bad for the victims family’s
No they wouldn't. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. But whatever. This old geezer is innocent and you spend the rest of his life in prison.
@@El_Chaquetas people needs to stop using age as an excuse murder is murder the victim don’t deserve it he should have call the cops right away
@@El_Chaquetashes a proven threat to public safety in the meantime you actual moron
The scammer and this old murderer and Uber should all be held accountable. But when you hear media playing the victim music for him and him still walking around out . Than you know what they are planning
He is a victim. It was a scam. He and the Uber driver were set up. He even said they threatened him. My sister in law says the IRS keeps calling her and she owes $3000. She was panicking and said they want her to pay with her credit card. My sister in law is 74. I found out it was a scam. It put her in tears because she is on a fixed income. This is the kind of shit scammers do to old people but this one turned deadly. Now he will go to prison over a set up.
Cops comforting the killer is crazy...
Yeah I noticed that too. Also saying the lady was in an accident, shame on that woman.
Well you know what they say, terrorist comfort their own . SMH
Clear cut case of murder. That was no act of self defence.
She showed up but he did not have to answer the door. Lock him up!!!
How the fuck can he claim not guilty. He killed her in cold blood!
Lack of conscience.
It's clear deadly force was not warranted.
Guilty or not, a good lawyer will always start with “not guilty” if he thinks he can convince a jury that his client is innocent of a crime.
Even if it was a Scam, this old man is still Guilty.
Exactly
what a nerve of bastard to pled not guilty
Needs to be in jail until trial... media is hilarious. That man is as guilty as the scammer. He is a murderer.
This really pisses me off as it never should have happened in the first place! While I believe the old man should go to prison for murder, the scammer (if found) should be in prison on manslaughter charges as well.
I feel no sympathy for thay old guy. He came out of his housr pointing his gun at a disabled woman. He wasnt scared. He needs to be in jail
@@hb2862sort his not completely guilty
He came out because they threatened him and he had a gun t protect himself. He went towards her because he wanted to get her phone and stop whoever is calling him and scaring him. She was also set up. They need to figure find the scammer before he does it again.
@@tombeveridge7453 He also had a locked door to his house and a phone to call 911 to get the police for his protection. He used neither. He is guilty of murdering that woman, so stop making excuses for him!
@@tombeveridge7453
NO MATTER OF ANY EXCUSES...
That man is a cold blooded murderer.
She was of no threat.
She was smaller than him and a female
She backed away trying to leave, and he prevented her escape
She was shot several times, begging for her life.
NO EXCUSE!!!
He should have called the police to informed them that he was being scammed! It's premeditated murder!
They won't do anything
Victims don’t immediately know they’re being scammed, because scammers use social engineering techniques to manipulate their victims. In this particular case, they convinced this old man his nephew needed bail and forced a sense of urgency in him. Being rushed to do things means less rational thought and less time to think, and less likely to consider they are being scammed enough to call the police.
The scammer may have created it but the 81 year old had no right to take this woman’s life
He admits to being on the phone for a couple of hours and knew someone coming so why did he not call the police? and for the police to pat this man on the back give him a ride home release him on a bond is no justice
A person is dead and that 81 year old had several ways he could have gotten help …… he chose to kill her
I wondering 🤔 did the police run out of handcuffs?
The officer gave to much information... Should have kept that scammer talking or sent money to get him to come out.
Exactly!
They won't be caught because they are overseas. They will just tell the money mule (the person receiving the package, not the uber driver) to convert it to crypto. This second money mule is another victim, thinking that they are hired for a job.
@fc7307 The government can track anyone... They left to many footprints not to get caught. Plus the added death caused by an oversees criminal organization....
How is he even allowed on Bond . Him and Uber and scammer should all be held accountable. Stop making him look a victim. He took someone life , how much is someone’s life .
The police sometimes do a horrible job. Why not pretend you got the money instead of telling the scammer the woman has an accident 😢😢😢😢😢😢
we all know theyre never going to catch those scam callers, they've probably already given up.
the cops should have made the package delivery to the place the uber said and waited to see who picks it up
Police was not smart
Cops are stupid
Cops are glorified janitors.
I get lots of scam calls, and I just simply hang up then BLOCK their numbers. So the scammer says he's got his nephew for ransom. What if the old man didn't have any nephews or kids for that matter. Come on, how can some of these people be so damn stupid unable to ask simple basic questions. All my family members are dead, so a scam like that would never (FLY) period.
Is it illegal 2 hang up 📲. Why engage with scammer off & on 4 so long. Just crazy. I think he told them 2 come get money so he could set up trap. Fine but "play along" & have police waiting around the corner!
You're right, the guy should have handled it better. The caller says his Nephew was in jail. Well what if he didn't have a nephew or any kids for that matter. When the officer had the scammer on the phone hearing him say, you're going to be in a lot of trouble, I would have said, trouble for what?
@@Jjonathanhart dude is senile and basically brain dead from dementia,...you could tell him humans have 9 fingers on one hand, and he'd believe it or find logic in it...that's why i say, people with dementia either need to be under doctors care, or placed in nursing homes...under the right circumstances, they're just as dangerous as a schizophrenic if not worse..,i can take one look at him, and tell hes not mentally well off..
Just ask for the relatives name.
Exactly. Not only that, but where was the Uber driver supposed to deliver the package of money to once picking it up. How come nobody wonders where the woman Uber driver was supposed to drop off the package once picking it up. Christ, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to wonder that. Come on everyone, ask questions. And suppose the guy didn't have a nephew. That scam wouldn't have worked with me since all my family members are dead from old age.
He could have called the police. It's murder 100%.
What find interesting is if you listen to what he says in the body cam footage he says "he figured" when the officer tells him it was a scam. When did he figured it out? If he figured it was scam why did he believe they were coming to kill him and his family. Also why would scammers posing as officers threaten to kill him and his family. I really think he as lying about all that. No mention of family or nephew or feeling threatened while killing that women.
My GOD bless her family this was just AWFUL!!!!!!
And he gets bond? If it was the other way around she would had be thrown under the jail.
I have used the new package delivery feature once with Door Dash to return computer equipment to a company. The delivery person delivers it to intended the carrier (such as USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc). So, I can easily understand how someone with bad intentions could abuse this delivery service in many ways. The drivers have no way of knowing what they might encounter. My heart breaks for Ms. Hall and her family. The shooter is not a victim. He had many alternative actions . He acted with malice and intent.
The old man was chasing the poor woman she can barely walk begging for her life ,and he felt threatened put yhis man away in prison for murdering this woman.
It doesn't matter if he thought she was involved in a scam or not because she was unarmed and made no threatening moves towards him. There is no way he can claim self defense.
@@georgcantor7172where is the footage of her doing that to him? Even if that's true, wouldn't she have the right to fight for her life if someone is coming at her with a gun. He was the aggressor with a loaded gun pointed at her. She, on the other hand, was backing away from him while pleading for her life. No way his self-defense claim should hold up.
@@unclebrother6244 , She wasn't pleading for her life. She wanted to get out of there before the fuzz arrived. If someone pointed a gun at you and told you that you're being placed under citizen's arrest and that you can't flee and that you had to wait for the fuzz because you stole something and were involved in blackmail and mail fraud; would you try to flee or would you wait until the fuzz arrived? If the person was innocent and the fuzz weren't corrupt, an innocent person would wait for the fuzz.
@@georgcantor7172
Wow, those are wicked drugs you are taking.
@@OpinionFactChecker , The one who was taking drugs was da black beeeyach who tried to flee after Brock told her to not move until da authorities showed up. The homies in da hood said she had a rep for dealing shrooms, china dolls, yellow jackets, pink ladies. She's well known in da hood for being a hustler.
@@georgcantor7172
You were obviously her favourite customer.
They really thought the scammer was going meet with the officers, 😮😮
The officer should got more information while she was with the alleged scammer.
Are they the dumbest cops in the world?
@@bigbootyhunta
American cops are the world's laughing stock.
nice work deceptive , so you call to meet a scammer and expect them to follow through.
How dumb are these cops trying to catch the scammer?
I was wondering the same thing. We have the driver and I am a Deputy, now where can we meet? 🤡
@@cliftonconnor9389 Come meet us at the park so we can arrest you. And they actually showed up expecting him to be there!
This was intentional murder. Suspicion is not enough to justify murder.
Whatever reason he gave he still murdered her! He better not get away with that. And you can’t ignore the gender differences and the race difference. She has 2 strikes against her ON TOP of her being a “tool” of the scammer.
You can’t shoot scammers either gramps!
The cops really believe that person would meet.
Absolutely unbelievable, isn't it? How could someone so naive succesfully pass the police academy?
His reasoning for shooting an unarmed UBER driver is gonna get him Life in Prison...
Why didn’t he call 911 BEFORE killing the Uber Lady?
Because he knew exactly what he was doing. He had his mind made up, and he couldn't resist the opportunity to take the life of a person like her. He's a hateful, sick man. He needs to be held fully accountable for what he did.
All I have to say is a 200K bail for premeditated murder & Kidnapping is a cruel and unusual bail amount... Sending my condolences to Loletha love ones🙏🙏🙏🙏 Apparently the state of Ohio don't value the life of African Americans. HOW DISGUSTING!!!
The old man knew it was a scam so why did he willingly engage! He didn't have to answer the phone and he didn't have to open the door! He wanted to shoot somebody!
That poor sweet woman 😪
America has derailed. What a weird country it has become.
Nope. It was always racist!
Bad use of the word stunning, it sounds like an AI
Blame authority that couldn't find out a psychopath live without supervision
He's a monster
Oh, i did know that the police department policy is that handcuffs are discretionary.
wtf is he not handcuffed
The detective isn’t very bright when talking to the scammer. Why didn’t she pretend to be someone else so she could try to elicit more information or set him up. She could have said she was the old man’s sister or something.
Instead she tells him she’s a “real officer”? WTF is that? So, now he knows the game is up and he should cut off contact and disappear, which is what he did.
I hope they find him, but that detective’s method was counterproductive.
Cops gullible enough to think the scammer will willingly meet w them 😂
1:29 Female officer made a right cock and balls of that telephone call. He picked up on her first attempt as well she could have played the card perfectly, pretended to be the driver and worried by his authoritative“You're going to in a lot of trouble” spiel. Surprised someone of her age and experience let him ruffle her feathers so easily and and gave him a head start at getting away.
"Sticks and Stones may break my bones but WORDS will NEVER HURT ME !"
thats an AI voice on the phone....
Yep! It's an A.I. generated soundboard. No doubt in my mind.
Call 911
For those who say she is part of it, why would she want to record herself delivering? If she didn't have a dash camera, he would be free.
So how did the scammer think he'd collect the money this way? I'm confused.
The unsuspecting uber driver would drop off the money at a location where a "mule" was waiting (someone within the united states who will transfer to the person running the scam overseas). They usually transfer the currency into crypto so it can't be tracked. It's a very clever/sophisticated scam.
@@unclebrother6244 Ah ok. Thank you!
GO GET THE SCAMMERS WTF!?!?!?!?
That's why you never pick up or deliver parcels. Just stick to food and passengers.
Thats dangerous too! An innocent lady driving for uber in Houston had her life taken by a random guy she picked up not too long ago. It's a shame.
@@unclebrother6244 It's sad that innocent lives are taken when people are just making honest buck.
@@jaredmoone8741 you're 100% correct Jared. It's a shame.
Scam or not - wtf is the policeman comforting this guy with a pat on the shoulder? Jesus he murdered someone
That detective should have been like " hey delete everything you have and go to Mexico because we have no clue who you are and this will give you time to escape"
Imagine if he was any color than white…. If he would be allowed to sit around… chatting….
Zero chance! No way. Smh
I'm pretty sure the scammer on the phone wasn't a real person... These scams are getting ridiculous... been ridiculous... but getting ridiculouser 👈 we need that word today.
crazy feeling of deja vu watching that phone call.. has this exact thing happened before ??
This is my neighbor aunt… so sad
She was no threat to him!! People who can’t control their emotions should not own guns….basically men shouldn’t own guns!
If that guy had called the cops when the lady arrived, explained the situation and stayed inside until the cops came to assess the situation, he'd have all the sympathy he could want for being the victim of a scammer, but he didn't do that. He chose to pull a gun on a woman who had said nothing but "I'm here to pick up a package", and shoot her.....for words! The scammer is a piece of crap human who I think definitely wanted to cause trouble, maybe even hoped for violence, and I truly hope karma is currently hunting him down with some amazing discipline, but he didn't force that man to take lethal action, and if his fear level is so high he shoots the first person he sees when he's nervous, he shouldn't have had a gun in the first place!
The only actual genuine victim here who suffered is that poor lady being killed by an old man for doing her job, dying alone with nobody but a man who treated her like shit, and shot her when she tried to leave, with no idea why she was being murdered.....and she WAS murdered. She was not threatening, not armed, not yelling, and was backing away, and nobody is so afraid that they see THAT as a reason to shoot someone!
I hope hes not charged.
Hello please to any one don't deal with scammers on your own call the police tell them record them and what they say to you on the phone then give the recording to the police and any information you have don't don't deal with it on your own please thankyou
No handcuffs
Can you believe there are peoole defending his actions? Theres is nothing defensible about this. Hes a thief andba murderer. Stole her phone then held her at gunpiint before killing her.
This is the mess we are talking about as Black people, always a different set of rules (LAWS) when it comes to you! If that would've been us doing what he did the show and media attention definitely would have been different, possibly shot, slammed to the ground, choke hold, unalived the list goes on. All this sympathy for William ,really? He came out of his house with a gun drawn to do harm, the decision was already made because William could've stayed in his house and not answered his door or went outside and called the cops before he shot Loletha several times by choice and told her he was going to shoot her and he did over and over again. Now that the shoe is on the other foot how is the so called law and media going to handle this criminal, thug, murderer, William Brock?
Sound like the old guy was chatting with some female online, and the scammers wanted they money and they were going to blackmail him.
About that nephew in jail thing, i swear down that was in dhar mann
Typical suspect
Im pretty sure the cops dont realize thats a AI voice bot they are probably talking to. Absolutely Crazy....... This seems like a really elaborate way to orchestrate a hit on this womans life cause I dont get why you shoot if you are the old man?
81 old murderer
Still the cops can't catch the person who caused all that .wow
I’m not surprised. Many of these scammers work internationally and know how to cover their tracks. The scammer is likely somewhere the police have no jurisdiction over.

Horrible 😢
Just evil
This dude lying she didn't kill nobody
We will soon find out it was all AI! Technology has changed the world.
So…I’m confused….since when does a Uber driver make pick ups for packages? It would make her look like she’s a part of the scam. Somethings wrong with this picture. Honestly…I think all this is a scam. This is a rouge to raise Lyft and Uber prices. Y’all got to see through this one.
Uber and door dash offer pick up services ma’am
@@YEAAANOO I never knew that. But it seems scatchy still in this case. In sooo many ways.
All these comments completely overlooked the simple fact that he believed he was dealing with a ransom situation.
You all skipped that part and just called it murder outright.
Even so, Legaly speaking, when someone is on the retreat and you shoot them anyway, then that is grounds for murder.
Yes it's a fucked up situation, But what would you have done differently.
What he believed makes no difference in the situation. He should have called the police instead of taking matters into his own hands.
Their calling it murder because that’s what it was Being old,confused ,and paranoid doesn’t change that!
I dont understand the scam. Why mess with the uber driver?
I know right 😞
Exactly. Plus, where was the Uber driver supposed to deliver the package once picking it up? No one seems to have common sense enough to ask questions.
The reason they send the unsuspecting uber driver is for this exact reason. In case the target of the scam becomes violent, none of the ppl directly associated with the scam will be injured.
@@Jjonathanhartthe unsuspecting uber driver would deliver the package to a "mule" (someone within the United States who will transfer the money into crypto currency (so it can't be tracked) and send it overseas to the person running the scam.
But when the Uber driver was sent to the house to pick up the package, where was she supposed to take the package once picking it up. Just like when you pick up a passenger in your cab, you take them to their destination. And I thought the old man was so stupid as not to ask the scammer if you got my Nephew, tell me his name. If you don't know his name, than you're full of shit. As for me: my entire family is dead from old age, so that scam would never fly with me.
GENESIS 4: 10 to 12 (KJV)
Not a scam but a prank
I don't know. It's sad. This does happen often to senior citizens and the poor. The man clearly has dementia and has no reason to have a gun. In his dementia riddled mind he thought he was protcting his family. The scammers do threaten to kill you. At the same time it's just awful seeing that poor woman lose her life because some scumbag decided to threaten a senior citizen for extortion. 2 lives are ruined. One is lost. This wouldn't have happened if we had better scam and cybersecurity practices in this country. Harsher penalties for scammers too.
You are un-American. Anybody trying to make excuses for anyone that murders an innocent, law-abiding, American citizens is un-American!!!!!

I had an art teacher from Ohio. Very racist.
The cia or fbi can find out im sure its a russian fault
Hopefully he gets out because yall are so stupid. He is an elderly man within his rights to PROTECT himself. He thought this lady was a SCAMMER. Or part of the people demanding HELLA money to get his nephew out of jail. They are BOTH victims, who BOTH deserve justice. He is definitely NOT a danger to society. He is a VICTIM. I’m not downplaying the lady and I hope she is resting in peace but this man THOUGHT she was part of the scam and who blames him? Hell I would have believed she was on it too. How the fuck is he supposed to know she was innocent? Just saying “I work for Uber” ain’t enough. Anyone can lie like that 💀
The fact that he decided to shoot an unarmed lady backing away and ready to leave in her vehicle without harming him, is no excuse to “protect” himself by approaching her with a gun and then shooting her.
He could have kept the package and not confronted her about it, then call the police himself to arrest her, if she was truly the scammer.
Both Loletha and this man were manipulated by a scammer, but to insist he was only protecting himself is lousy logic.
Just get ready to pay back when the king of kings return ya'll edoomitess
Crazy usa
Is she is confirming the package pickup and he is already expecting harm to him...is she acknowledging that she is carrying out the scam or she is just wondering why she received a scam herself? Sent from Uber to deliver a package? He already knew? 🤯
They detail it in the video… the scammer was extorting him.
And the same scammer then paid for an Uber to pick up the parcel for them. Which just happened to be the victim who was shot. For accepting the wrong job.
The woman was innocent and not aware of any scam. She was sent by uber to pick up a package. Old man should have called the police.
@@burgernfries9720 👋am wondering if she's innocent of being the scammer as the man assumed? Reports say she received the same instructions for the package pick up that the man assumed was going to harm him. The instructions were sent from the company she worked. did the man send the Uber scam to himself and somehow scammed an Uber driver to scare himself? So why confirm you wish to carry out that scam vs wonder why you received a suspicious threat from your company to this man',s address? Do we know if she had been his driver previous to this incident?
