Chilling 911 audio has revealed the moment Ohio police discovered an innocent Uber driver dying in a driveway after the owner shot her multiple times.
Lo-Letha Toland-Hall, 61, was shot and killed by William Brock, 81, on March 25 in the rural village of South Charleston, located between Columbus and Cincinnati.
Dashcam footage from her taxi shows Brock pointing a gun at her, and DailyMail.com has now obtained audio of the 911 call she made after the shooting.
A call operator reads Brock’s address on Clifton Road before saying, “We received a report of a woman who was shot… a black woman lying in the driveway.”
Brock later told police that scammers had made threatening calls demanding money, and police believe the same scammers called Toland-Hall’s Uber to his home to “pick up a package.”
