Ohio man, 83, convicted of killing Uber driver faces sentencing
AI Summary
William Brock, an 83-year-old Ohio man, is scheduled for sentencing after being convicted of murder, felonious assault, and kidnapping in the March 2024 shooting death of Uber driver Lo-Letha Toland-Hall. Brock shot Toland-Hall six times at his home near Dayton, wrongly believing she was involved in a scam that had targeted him. Both Brock and Toland-Hall were victims of the same scam, where scammers deceived them both to get $12,000 in supposed bond money for a relative. Toland-Hall, 61, was at Brock's home to pick up a package for delivery when the shooting occurred. Brock's defense argued self-defense, claiming he felt threatened, but prosecutors emphasized that Toland-Hall was unarmed and posed no threat. Prosecutors highlighted that the original scammers who initiated the events have not been apprehended.
