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.

^ WTF??!! So this guy just assumes with no evidence that the Uber driver was involved in him being scammed?! I take it the guy was off his meds or he needed meds since I'm pretty sure he was fooled by one of those simple scams where you have to have low cognition to be fooled. This is why elderly people like that should have guardians to look after them. He should still be charged with something lower than murder in the 1st Degree but still murder or manslaughter. Hopefully once he's locked up he can get all the care he needs.
