Uber driver, 61, shot and killed by scammers Ohio man, 81, was a church-seeking mom who started working for the app after retiring from her tax day job

An Uber driver shot by an 81-year-old Ohio man was a church mom who started working for the app after retiring from her job at a tax agency.

Lo-Letha Toland-Hall, 61, was shot and killed by William Brock in the city of South Charleston on March 25.

The two had been targeted by scammers when Hall, known as Letha, drove up to Brock’s home to allegedly pick up a package.

Hall was remembered as a beloved mother and entrepreneur at her funeral last week. She attended Ohio State University for horticulture and was an avid gardener, as reported by Springfield News-son.

She is survived by one child, Mario Hall, with whom she is said to have had an ‘unbreakable bond’.

An 81-year-old Ohio man has been charged with murder after he admitted to shooting an Uber driver who had been tricked by a scammer into picking up a package at the man’s home

Mario Hall wrote on Facebook: ‘(She) was my best friend, my heart and my light. Her presence and unconditional love will be sorely missed.’

Brock told police he had received fraudulent phone calls from scammers demanding money and had been threatened by them in the weeks leading up to the altercation.

On the day of the shooting, someone called him and told him a relative was in jail. They demanded money from him, then placed an order via Uber for someone to pick up a package from his house.

The driver who picked up the job was Lo-Letha Hall, 61. She was unaware the elderly man was being targeted and thought the job was legitimate.

When she showed up to collect it, Brock shockingly whipped out a gun and demanded she identify who had sent her.

Much of the scene was captured on the video camera in Hall’s vehicle and released by the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.

Brock also allegedly took her phone and wouldn’t let her go, although he never called 911 or called for help, police said.

DailyMail.com has contacted Uber for comment for this story.

There was apparently an ‘argument’ between the two, with Brock asking Hall who she worked for, then he shot her again and then a third time after a ‘further exchange’.

She was shot in the upper left side of her torso, one on the upper front part of her left leg, one on the inside of her left knee and one in the middle of the sternum.

Hall was trying to get back to her car when Brock shot her. Afterwards, Hall can be heard screaming in pain as Brock threatens to ‘shoot the other leg.’

Hall was taken to a local hospital but died while undergoing surgery, authorities said.

Brock, who himself suffered head and ear injuries, did not call 911 until after he shot Hall.

One of the people he suspected of scamming and threatening him texted Uber delivery driver Letha Hall (pictured left), 61, to tell him to pick up a package at Brock’s home

Hall showed up at Brock’s home and, according to police, ‘did not make any threats or assaults’ towards him and just asked about the package. Fearing she would hurt him, Brock pulled out a gun and demanded she identify who had sent her

He told deputies – ‘without being asked’, as they put it – that Hall was there to ‘take (my) money’.

Brock said Hall attacked him after he shot her by slamming her head into the door of her car and then tried to flee, so he shot her again when he thought she was going to get her own gun.

“He stated that he did not want to shoot her, but he thought she was going to kill him,” the incident report said.

Brock is charged with murder because he did not call 911 and because there was ‘no active threat presented by Ms. Hall at any time during the encounter.’

He posted a $200,000 bond, but he may face additional charges after the incident is further investigated.
