An Ohio man was charged with murder after shooting a Black ride-share driver in an unprovoked attack, following the most recent string of cases of Black Americans being shot while doing mundane things.
William Brock, 81, who is white, was arrested after he fatally shot Lo-Letha Hall, 61, outside his home in South Charleston, Ohio, about an hour outside Dayton, NBC News reported.
Brock told police that he shot Hall because he believed she was working with scammers who had allegedly called Brock’s home that same morning.
On 25 March, Brock received a scam call from a man who falsely identified himself as an officer at the local courthouse.
William A. Brock is 6’2” and 175 lbs.

Lo-Letha Hall was reportedly ‘armed’ only with her eyeglasses and a cellphone. Mr. Brock took her cell phone away prior to killing her.
There’s some video with some audio. Also, a booking photo. He reportedly had injuries to the head and ear after the encounter. Look at the booking photo.
