My heart bleeds for that poor uber driver---completely innocent and just trying to make a living. What a travesty!
Scammers drive young guys to suicide in a few hours
That's exactly how I feel too.
I know. I'm an Uber driver myself. 😢. Poor lady.
maby she was with the scammer?
I’m not black but it’s obvious still not safe to be black Americans anywhere in this country!
I don't give a fuck if it was a scammer or not, she was not a threat, she was not armed, this is murder, bottom line.
She was not *in fact* armed, or a threat, but the scammers had given him plenty of reason to assume that she was, and created a situation where anything she tried to do to make herself look non-threatening would make her appear to be more deeply involved with the scammers, and thus, more threatening.
@@JonBraseI have never read anything more pathetic than that. This geezer was trigger happy and was stupid to be not see the scammed BS.
@@JonBrase Question: So why did he choose to believe the scammer over the woman?
@@cbesthelper404 Because the scammer had said she'd show up, and she did. And if she actually were involved in the scam, and were armed, (but still had her weapon concealed), and had been planning to kill him if he didn't produce the money, and if he got the drop on her, you'd expect her to lie through her teeth to save her life, and then to kill him once his guard was down.
@@JonBrase He had every ability to not let his guard down, so the point about her killing him once his guard is down is an academic one.
He could have not let his guard down by staying inside. He could have not let his guard down without having to shoot her.
After he shot her the first time, he could have avoided letting his guard down by retreating himself.
This maniac had full control throughout and behaved aggressively for the duration.
Did it never occur to him that perhaps she was innocent? Did he entertain that there was even just a remote chance that she was? No!! And that was a decision that he made willingly.
It would have crossed his mind that she might be innocent had she been a 25-year-old blonde. That would have confused him enough to let his guard down and back off. But this murderer SAW her as not possibly being anything else but guilty, or at least he PRETENDED that he thought she was guilty to give himself an excuse to kill her.
Bottom line, no need to shoot and certainly no need to shoot multiple times. Suppose that were your mother?
He is not a victim. He is an aggressor. He left his home.....not having fear of the unarmed woman who could hardly walk. He then proceeded to murder that innocent woman.
@EmilDamil-wt1yfhe did not have to come out of his house. He could’ve pulled the police from inside his home and never open the door.! Then the woman would still be alive.
He killed her. And yes, he was scammed, but he still killed this woman.
I agree!
@EmilDamil-wt1yf lol, a victim that killed an unarmed woman. get out of here
@EmilDamil-wt1yf he stopped being a victim the second he shot at an unarmed person that was trying to leave MULTIPLE TIMES.
He yt, so hes gonna be protected. They will make up whatever they feel they need to to save this guy.
Yeah, he wasn't scared at all. He was the aggressor completely and even followed her when she tried to leave and took her phone. He should spend the rest of his life in prison.
I mean if he has dementia, as I did see reported in an article, it's possible his reaction is because of his dementia.
Dementia patients don't have the same decision making capabilities as someone without dementia might. They don't have the ability to think through things. And they're notoriously known for being quick to anger & agitation.
My great grandmother wrapped a phone cord around my sister's neck when we were kids. We had been pranking her calling the phone so she would answer and no one would be there. She caught on hearing us laughing & just reacted. She had Alzheimer's. My grandmother gets angrier more quickly now. It's hard not being able to remember things you know you should be able to. It's scary not being able to understand what's happening to your brain. You can't reason with someone with this kind of condition when they are angry & feel like they're being questioned. I imagine the woman not knowing what he was talking about made him angry bc he prob thought she was lying. So, I think dementia could absolutely have played a role in why he reacted the way he did in a situation we can look at & see a better reaction. Especially if he had been getting calls & feeling unsafe. One article I read said the scammer threatened to harm his family if he didn't do what he asked. Maybe he thought he couldn't call police about the calls bc he feared what might happen if he did? I don't know what happened. But I do think it's a tragedy all around for everyone involved.
The gun and dementia combo ahhhh
@@brittneyzarwel6242 people with dementia should not own firearms.
And how about the crappy scammer who created all this?
If he has dementia, should he have a gun? Common sense gun laws might’ve helped. Driver’s licenses get taken away, but guns, meh. Good old second amendment…
Why shoot her? She's literally backing up shouting help!! Help me!
Hate crime.
I assume he was trying to keep her from leaving before he called the police by using threats, then opted to shoot her because she wasn't complying. Awful. Whole situation could have been avoided if he just stayed indoors and contacted the police immediately.
@@steveptasznik6147 probably been waiting his whole life for justification to shoot a Black person.
All he needed was her license plate number
@@steveptasznik6147 it was not about race.
If he REALLY thought she was the “scammer” why did he even open the door? Why didn’t he just call 9-1-1 ?
Because they all think they are Dirty Harry and “I’m going to clean up this town.”
Been waiting his whole life to find a reason to fire his weapon on someone...
Cognitive decline is a b*tch. There's lots of old people who shouldnt still be driving, let alone own guns
Exactly!
Because he wanted to shoot his gun
For what it is worth. My 96 year old Grandmother was called by a scammer. He told her that her Grandson, Andy (me), had been arrested and was going to go to jail and they said they could help get me out if she sent money. She was scared and confused. The guy got her so upset, she called 911 because she thought she was having a heart attack. She called me hysterical yelling at me for me being in trouble. I was sitting at my desk 3000 miles away working. They are disgusting animals that attack the elderly. It took her days to calm down. This stuff is real folks. I feel so sorry for that woman. She did not deserve this. God rest her.
Scammers pulled the same thing on my late grandmother about 15 years ago. Her son, my father, was in bed sleeping and she didn't think to call him to verify the story. She just gave the scammer her credit card info. The psycho was never caught.
old ppl are not human
dont have old ppl number in phone registry , dont answer with a voice but a touge click tounge .
My grandma got that same call a few months ago. She called me, and THANKFULLY I answered. Yes, I was at Hooters and a little tipsy, but all the while NOT behind bars. Haha!
The scary thing is not only was your grandma targeted but the criminal actually took the time to research your family to find out your name, relationship to her etc. to make the story sound plausible. That took a little effort, which means somebody was watching for a while.
Honestly the stupidity of that old man pulling a gun on an unarmed woman who was only guilty of being mistaken by the scammers too. The old man should be charge for murder as well as the scammers.
Boy you are clueless
Exactly. IDK why the federal government doesn't put more of an emphasis on stopping scammers and what they're doing. SMH.
Key element wasn't stupidity, it was hatred. At least that's what I'd bet on. Not that there is anyway to prove it, and we will likely never know what went wrong in him. But IMO he, like many people, was likely glued to a tv consuming MSM propaganda. He's paranoid, hateful, and foaming at the mouth to get to use his gun and be hero. Even if she was an accomplice, if his goal was to save his family, gunning down the middle man is the exact opposite of how that would be achieved. He didn't care if she was involved, didn't care about his family, he just wasn't going to let this chance to live out his fantasy slip through his fingers. And I'm not the type to say things like this, but even I gotta say, her being black was probably a big factor. If it was a younger white girl, I doubt he'd have been so eager. That poor girl.. this man deserves prison for life, and I doubt he cares, because he's already got to live a full life. I'd bet that played a role in his decision too.
@EmilDamil-wt1yf Unknowingly
@@dishonoredundeadYou just can’t assume all of that. Jesus I hope your trolling me!
2:11 She was elderly and disabled, not a threat to him or anyone, hearing her scream for help and helpless to his attack was heartbreaking. Why didn't he call the cops?
The killer has 20 years on her!
S0?
@@SharuyanAllegiancehe had a gun.
Would even things up I’d think
He might have thought that the police were in on the scam. The scammer was claiming to be an officer. Which seems absurd, but old people are easily duped because of their cognitive decline. That's why they're targeted by scammers in the first place.
@@tomcollins5112 but he did call the cops.
His estate will be drained, because of a scammer, but not to the scammer. That poor innocent woman.
The lawyers will get it
He definitely going to suffer a lot from his action, most likely jail time as well as a civil lawsuit for negligence
@@texasrefugee7888😂 ok clown
@@JohnnytNaturalYeah so his family or whoever probably won't get anything after the Civil suit..... I didn't think of that......
@@micnorton9487
Guess he should have thought about that before he executed her. She was fleeing.
I’m so heartsick for this woman. She’s disabled and elderly…she’s probably been struggling with financial issues and doing her best to hang on by driving for Uber, just to be accused and killed without knowing why. What a horrible end.
61 is NOT elderly!
@@Celisar1 You’re not wrong, but I don’t believe “elderly” is a biological age - it’s a physical condition. I know people in their 70s that I wouldn’t describe as elderly and people in their 60s that fit the term too well.
I’m more baffled at the fact that he got a bond!!.. Like WTF!!
He probably doesn't have a history of violence and isn't a flight risk. But I don't agree with him getting bail.
Just stay away from his house and you won't get shot.
@@jackolini being white helps too. Just sayin
@@60skidlostinspace She was working!!!! are you stupid?
@ETU187 I agree! He definitely seems to be a danger to the community. Is it legal to have turning in all of his guns and ammo as a condition of bail? If not, it should be.
This was so tragic. That poor woman, just trying to make a living.
Im completely disgusted by this story, and seeing her face trying to get away just disturbes me. Poor woman. To think you are going to do some mundane job and it ends up being your last day on earth. Just horrible!!!
😢 just terrible. My heart breaks for her family
Very good point
You're right and I'm sure the evil scammer is so young waste person that doesn't want to work trying to rob elderly people..and how unlucky she was to pick up the Uber call plus the color of her skin made her a triple threat to him...😢
Well said👏👏👏👏👏👏
Please remind your elderly loved ones to never answer unknown phone numbers. 99% of phone calls these days are scams. The phone call is dead.
HOLIDAYS!
Phone calls are annoying and intrusive.
My grandmother is so frustrating to deal with, they would end the call. She also would never give money to someone thats calling her, she knows we won’t ask
Use the Do Not Disturb feature. Calls you want to receive *star* them in your contacts.
@@KendlickLama Punctuation is a good idea here.
He was never in any danger at any time during the incident. He needs to spend what few years he has left, behind bars.
Regardless of motive or misunderstanding, William murdered an innocent person. He needs to go to prison for life without parole.
The scammer needs to go to prison for murder as well!
This analysis is flawed it does include racism in the perps decision to shoot.
@@pnscar3 Maybe. We don't know what was going through his head.
The scammer is in India. Go over and find them. It's also a fake phone number.
81 years old. That’s an interesting life sentence
@@fredashay it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that this man was racist. I’m sure things would’ve went pretty crazy regardless of the Uber drivers race, but being black certainly did not help her in the situation. This was in Ohio and we’re talking about an elderly white man who owns guns. Statistically speaking he’s definitely a racist.
Imagine if there was no footage
I sang this in my head.
Totsl diffrent story of a vicious black woman trying to kill an elderly white man.
Right? I bet he'd have gotten away with it. Justice must be served for Lolitha. He must be jailed for life.
@@TheDramacistshe was still unarmed, with or without footage
@@serfranklin6022 you don’t have to be armed to be capable of violence and destruction so he could get away without footage
My God! This is really heartbreaking. This man had zero justification in shooting Ms. Hall. She was clearly no threat to him, especially after he shot her the first time!! She was walking away! All he had to do was call the police! Both William and the scammer should be held accountable. This is murder!
If it was the other way around you’d be playing your favorite card and ignoring the crime while claiming “he’s a good man”. We’re onto how you all operate.
@@daveatkins3568ironic seeing as you're playing the card right now. Weak ass typical reverse uno.
@@daveatkins3568 You're literally 'operating' in real time, with this asinine statement of yours, ironically the exact same way you're claiming to know how 'they'?? do?
@@daveatkins3568 Divide and conquer. Think about it for a second, or don't and stay under the thumb of your real masters lol
@@daveatkins3568if it was the other way around he would got bail.
Scammers involve Uber type services often. It would make sense if these types of companies ONLY do food, grocery type deliveries and absolutely NO package pick up. This puts drivers in, as we see, dangerous situations. This is beyond sad.
"Please go get this package for me, ignore the white powder on the outside. Please drop it off to this address, ignore that it's abandoned. Thank you, signed ANON".
"Please put the money inside a food box. Signed: your scammer."
@@jackolini Yeah, Uber drivers have reported being asked to deliver this kind of sketchy packages. Uber should only do deliveries from actual businesses, not from individuals.
Totally agree...these big multinationals are not only putting their employees and clients at risk, but also going after regular delivery type services which have their own operational protocols in place
@@thelogicaldanger An individual at a home address can be an actual business and privately registered so there's no way Uber could verify (e.g. sole trader not ltd or plc). Normal day to day trade that runs like a quarter of the entire economy (if we exclude asset investment/trading/stocks, so actually doing important things with goods and services that actually runs the world)...
This man is a menace and does not have proper judgment nor a complete grasp of how scams work, despite all his years of experience. He should be in prison.
This man has dementia and Alzheimer’s, much like the current president of the united states
A menace? That’s a bit harsh. You don’t think right in the heat of the moment when someone is threatening you.
A "complete" grasp? Oh like you do, because of "all" your years of life "experience." Think first before you speak.
I mean, she was the courier there to get a ransom envelope. Didn't know Uber was in that business..
@@aaronscarpa7469he murdered her! He's more than a menace
Scammers target the elderly and cognitively disabled because they’re vulnerable. The man should 100% be held accountable, but at the end of the day America needs to find a proper solution to stopping and criminally charging scam artists. Just awful.
I completely agree! Scammers suck.
And charge the scammer. He has cause the mayhem and the old fart's paranoïa.
The y😢😮 po😊😅😅. 😅😅😅😅😅😅
William however was an intended victim of a scammer. He was all concrete above the neck, a real dumb arse. The poor Uber driver menaced by someone with the listening ability of a rock.
So you diagnosed the old man. Cops failed yet again.
Poor Loletha... She was just trying to make a living and even had problems walking. Poor lady! Toss that murderer in jail. As usual, great job Dr. Grande!
So sad. That poor, innocent woman trying to make a little money. She could barely walk. Bless her heart. Somebody's grandma
Your comment about,
"Someones Grandma", made me feel like crying!! This is SUCH a Tragedy!! 💔💔💔❤️
the fact that she was old, crippled, and posed no threat, and he pretty much ignored that to kill her tells me that he's guilty of murder.
Both the scammer and evil William are responsible for the Uber driver's murder. I'm sure she needed money to work at her age with her disability.
He is not "evil." He was confused. That doesn't make him any less liable for murder charges, but it's not as if he's some sort of monster. He probably had no idea how Uber works, and certainly no idea that a criminal would send a random delivery driver for a package pick up.
@pricklypear7516 yet his answer was to shoot someone?
BS I call BS. He is evil because he CHOSE to murder an unarmed innocent person
americans: 100% self defence
the rest of the world: 100% murder
Emotional to call him evil. He was terrified for weeks that people were trying to steal from him or kill him. Just an angry, confused old guy. Psh evil 🙄
That poor lady😢This broke my ❤
This event is soooo tragic . That woman was working her job to cover her bills and this horrible situation happened. She is truly the ultimate victim here .
I guess she doesn't have to worry about the bills anymore.
@@instrumentsofdestruction5737 And the old man's family can kiss whatever he would've left them behind goodbye. This is a slam dunk of a civil suit for any lawyer. Not to mention the non-refundable premium he paid on his 200k bond.
What a terrible story. Poor Ms. Hall; another victim of scammers who won't pay for their crimes. These people are the lowest of the low. Thanks for the analysis, Dr. Grande.
That poor lady! Just another person out there going about her business and that’s it. My grandma is constantly being targeted by scammers. You can pay money and get anyones personal information. They knew my cousins name and her address. They said she was in custody and that grandma would bail her out. Thank goodness the teller knew her very well and questioned her withdrawal!

There actually is an option specifically for delivering packages on Uber tho
@@shameronstar7220 plus they actually deliver food with uber eats
@@shameronstar7220 Really? That's wild. I feel like that's ripe for abuse, and considering the circumstances...
There's always the chance that it's Tom Cruise you're picking the package up from and adventure may follow. Take the package.
I used to use it all the time at work to deliver parts to job sites. I just set the box in the backseat and wave goodbye 😅
He needs to spend the rest of his life in prison. There really shouldnt be any question about this.
That poor woman. May she rest in peace
That poor woman. I certainly hope that the scammer is prosecuted even if it’s not for felony murder. Thanks for another fabulous and informative video.
But he likely won't be. It's so easy to scam remotely these days.
William is the murderer, not the scammer. Being scammed does not absolve one from responsibility.
I didn’t say that. I don’t think that he should be absolved. I just want the scammer punished as well.
This man has dementia and Alzheimer’s, much like the current president of the United States
They have to first find the scammer who was operating from Canada, using an untraceable phone
are they trying to find this scammer?... he's guilty of murder, as well... his actions encouraged someone to be killed
That would be complicated. Too complicated for a local Ohio police department apparently.
They traced the call to Canada but that's it.
They aren’t even in America
I've seen other cases where they can trace the burner phone number to the location where it was sold and then review receipts and security camera footage to see who bought that batch of phones and go from there.
I don't know if there are better ways, but I hope they at least go that far. They really need to catch this person and hold them accountable.
@@Schelly It probably was patched through a line in Canada but originated in India...the scam capital of the world that always attacks U.S. senior citizens.
She was clearly backing right off completely and trying to reason with him. 100% avoidable that poor woman was just doing her job -
he saw backing as fleeing l guess from his justice felt insulted
No words... the poor woman pleaded for her life😢 RIP.
With a little reflection the old man could have backed up and thought a bit, but he was so into getting rid of "evilness". Just tragic. The scammer deserves years behind bar!
He was utterly delighted when he realised it was a scam and he held all the cards. He was driven by revenge and was power tripping when he shot Lolitha 3 times.
@TheDramacist no matter how many times you copy paste your poor interpretation of what you think might have been going on in the mind of a senile 81 year old, it will never make it fact lol
Charge the scammer with elder abuse as well. Brock is guilty to be sure but neither he or Hall should ever have been put in that situation to begin with
Please explain how to catch the scammer.

Poor woman.
He should have called the cops as soon as she arrived so they could sort it out for him.
He should have called the police when the scammer threatened him.
Believe it or not, I keep hearing people insist this man did nothing wrong.
Yikes.
Uber drivers get the brunt of a lot of crap. The whole option to have a package taken from one place to another is ripe for shady business.
yeah its dumb af i get drugs delivered to my house all the time, if police ever pulled the person over they'd get a random address and my house and if they came to me it would be pretty easy to say i have no idea whats going on.
Totally agree. I'll bet it's guns/drugs/dirty money 90% of the time. UBER should be held responsible for this, and they really need to be banned from conducting this shady package business.

I have witnessed elderly family members lose their reasoning, become paranoid, violent after weird calls or interactions shopping .. 💔
But he wasn't demented at the time of shooting. His reasoning skills may have been reduced by age, but he understood that murder is wrong and that shooting guns **multiple times** WILL kill.
William was on a power trip. He knew he could have called police. He could have not answered the door but taken her details.
But he chose violence. He wanted to shoot his gun. He wanted his victim to suffer because he felt entitled and justified in killing her. He's a very bad man and he likely always was. It took only a few less IQ points in his senior years to let the veil slip and show us who he really is.
We don't know a dayumn thing about his cognitive ability. He may have been drunk
@@TheDramacist
After being scammed you trust nobody
@@TheDramacistI think you’re right, he was pissed that things were happening outside his control so when this elderly disabled black woman showed up at his door he truly felt entitled to murder her. He is an absolute menace, I’m low on empathy for him in the least
The thing is these elders who are lonely that they continue to entertain these calls, much to their detriment
This is the saddest story you have covered. That poor woman never knew what happened. That old man was scared out of his mind. That scammer needs the chair but they'll never find him.
This is a case of elder abuse that resulted in murder.
Yes that poor disabled senior woman
Yup, its just an awful situation
It's a case of a psychopath who murdered an elder.
William was both and a murderer. He was as thick as 2 bricks. Probably didn't know how to rub 2 neurons together.

How Dr.Grande is producing this great content with no days off is a question I need him to analyze.

There seriously needs to be some type of mandatory scam education program for elderly people. This case makes me so angry. Regardless of what he thought, she was not a threat. He was callous. I'm so sad for her and her family.
I do not think they would have the ability to learn tbh.
Ohio Castle Law is not on his side. You have to be in your house or vehicle, and if the other party is trying to leave the threat isn't there anymore (a requirement of the law). Ohio Castle Law also carves out exceptions for delivery drivers and postal workers. I was on a jury once that had to consider a kidnapping charge. In Ohio, it isn't what you think sometimes. Simply preventing someone from leaving when they have a right to leave is enough to trigger this charge in Ohio. You don't have to tie them up and throw them in your trunk.
My heart is broken. I am so sorry for what this lady went through

I feel so bad for that poor woman. She was there to pick up a package , there should be some info on where that package was to be delivered.
I’m guessing the scammers used something hard to trace like a P.O. Box with a fake name , fake ID, etc.
Vigilantes have no place in civil society. What kind of dement shoots elderly women begging for help?
Oh stop. We don't live in a civil society. Not anywhere in the world. People now today know that if they fear for their safety or life, the police won't come. I don't blame him for being terrified. And I don't blame her, either obviously. I think they were both victims.

You can kill only in self defense, the definition of defense would require that there be a attacker. She may have been a scammer you 100% right about hindsight being 20/20 how could he have known, but he 100% knew she wasn't attacking him thare for his self defense go's right out the window. He should be charged but more importantly the scammer should be charged as well.
Lot of people confuse self defense with Retaliation. You are not entitled to your pound of flesh in a civil society and just because you have been wronged dosnt mean you have the right to deal out punishment.
@@robertstone9988 Yep 💯 Perfectly said !!!
As a 65 year old I get phone calls from unknown numbers a lot…….i don’t answer them and they never leave a voicemail
Sure sign of scams and telemarketers! Friends and family and legit businesses leave messages. 😉
I know someone who was scammed out of 100K a couple years back. She's 83 years old and continues to have a texting relationship with her "friend" and also continues to send money via Steam cards. She just refuses to believe anyone and now only trusts the scammer.
Logic would say the scammer was actually his nephew or someone working with him.
I can't believe this happened. What a crazy story!
I can't believe they gave this man a bond.....This just broke my heart for this woman....Rest in power Lolitha❤
He was charged with felony murder already by DA Doc!!! He is toast for his unreasonable act! He is going to prison! Such terrible judgement!
I hope he is convicted before election day.
@@GH-oi2jfnah there’s enough uneducated idiots that will vote for Biden still…
He's out on bond. His defense attorney will probably drag the case out for years with delays; until he either dies of old age or becomes incompetent to proceed.
@@GH-oi2jf no Trump is not going to let this old guy go free! It was a clear murder and she wasn’t the scammer. He is going away. It’s sad 😞
Sounds like the dude wanted to shoot someone. Terrible situation, but wonderful analysis as usual Dr. G.
He WANTED to KILL….ANY BLACK person!!!!! THIS was ALSO a RACE BASED HATE CRIME!!!!!
I know several old people who just sit in their house all day watching the hate-filled propaganda on Fox News and getting angrier and angrier. My grandmother was one of them. She spent her life helping poor/minority children in public schools, but by her final years she was so brainwashed by Fox News that she would spout hate constantly and even physically attacked a couple of brown people, one an hispanic man working in her neighborhood who she referred to as "another damned illegal" . My entire family was relieved when she passed away and we didn't even have a funeral for her because no one liked her anymore.
"Sounds like" "I think" "I feel"
All irrelevant.
@@AmonAnon-vw3hrpreach it
My opinion, When he saw Lolita was black, he became more angry because his racism caused him to be more aggressive.
There is absolutely no way to know that. And the whole "racist" thing is getting really boring and irrelevant, don't you think?
@@brandonfreeman4375 what is really boring is YOUR PERSISTENT DENIALISM!
Too bad it’s not going to get you anywhere in these troubling times!
The Awakening has arrived and there is nothing you can do about it.!
Now what you should do now is crawl back under that pathetic rock you are so accustomed to. And Continue Blanket with your bias security.
@@brandonfreeman4375 What’s BORING and IRRELEVANT Is your DENIALISM.
I'm sorry, but the scammer chose an elderly person because they are easier to confuse and trick, and then he threatened the old man and sent another person in to unknowingly take part in his criminal activity. The scammer holds the majority of the responsibility for this woman's death. Not all of it, but more than 50%.
I like that picture of Lolita with the pretty braids, eyeglasses, and red blouse. She really looks beautiful.
I'm so sorry to her family and friends for their loss. She looked so afraid in that video clip. She was closed in on herself.
I pray all of you heal.❤
WHERE was she supposed to DELIVER the package??????
I want to know too. Scam lead to death, yet they made no attempt to find anybody.
To someone that will mail the cash, or convert it to giftcards, or cryptocurrency. That person may be paid a percentage or they may be another scam victim.
You would have thought they could access the Uber account that ordered the taxi
@@joedirt1965 Great so then you investigate where THEY were instructed to leave the giftcards or mail the cash or which crypto address (Almost nobody knows how to roll their own crypto wallet address and keys etc, even on dedicated enthusiast forums, extremely likely they're on or were initially on an exchange or commercial wallet and can be identified), obviously.
Why is noone asking these questions except youtube comments?
This is so incredibly sad for this woman and her family. 💔
he needs to go to prison for life. this man had no business having a gun
I am very sad for all involved. Elderly people are so easily confused by scammers. My elderly parents have been frequently targeted. These Scammers have no morals!
Yes, scammers drive you mad.
For all involved? This man killed an innocent woman, she's the only victim here. He is alive & probably suffer little or no consequences. But of course you see his humanity as you see yourself in him. Her on the other hand..... oh well!
@@bellepierre24 These are just your own assumptions and that is all. There is no way to know this. Also, he is probably going to spend the rest of his life in jail, and this what you call "little or no consequences"!? It's very easy to judge when you have no experience with scammers. I want to see how you will fare when you, or someone in your family gets scammed.
@@brandonfreeman4375he lost NOTHING in the scam. PERIOD he knew it was a scam before she showed up for the package which he had no intentions of handing over to her. This killer is just another idiot with a gun. He wasn’t looking for justice from a scammer, he was seeking revenge on an innocent woman.
This is just so tragically preventable...sad all round...scammers should face charges too
you talk like he's so innocent. It was preventable, because that's what murder is. She was limping before he shot her in the leg, she's to big to move fast. She tried to beg for her life and said "lets talk". He had his gun ready and loaded with his finger on the trigger. As soon as she said lets talk, he must have knew not to talk since murdering her would be harder. not only he murdered an innocent hardworking woman. but everyone related to her. I bet she has a family to support.
The scammer is a scammer and of course did something illegal but I don't really think he forced the elderly man to shoot her in cold blood
All around? Not at all. What is tragic is that poor woman getting shot. That guy is a murderer and never should've gotten bail.
Off topic.....I just wanted to say I luv the pic of your fur baby!
I feel so bad for what she had to go through and for her family. Even if he 100% thought she was a "scammer" you can't shoot someone for being a scammer, I don't understand what he was thinking and he was extremely malicious about it. And if he actually thought they had his family member hostage how would killing the person he killed lead to the safe return of his family member?
EXACTLY
I agree with you, William Brock is guilty. That Uber driver was murdered in a senseless way.
I think William wanted to shoot his gun.
Whatever things you've imagined are irrelevant.
@@AmonAnon-vw3hr whatever you have to say is not relevant.
@@AmonAnon-vw3hr well 60 some people believe it is relevant
Thats why i NEVER answer a phone call from a number that i dont know! This has led to minor issues in the past but nothing crazy
Someone track that scammer down. This is disgusting
Its essentially a swat. Caller is guilty of murder.
Sounds like the police flubbed their best opportunities to catch the scammers.
sad story
I drove for Uber
that poor woman could have been me
William was in over his head
very sad
I feel bad for Ms. Hall and am disturbed by Mr. Brock's actions, but my real rage lies with the scammers.
I am really scared of gun owners in this country. Look how a this man gunned down another human! This is so sad. My neighbor came to me to tell me what I should do about bags of leaves waiting to be picked in my yard. I honestly just froze because what crossed my mind was a situation like this that can go bad quickly. I think gun owners are becoming more and more irresponsible.
@@Yellow-Rose No he's not. He's at home on bail.
He is a rare minority of otherwise many responsible gun owners.
Racism
There are plenty gun free paradises you can move to. Like the UK. You only have to worry about getting shanked by knives over there. But at least it won't be a scary gun!
@tristan583 the evidence for which is exactly 0.
Again, your fantasies are irrelevant.
So so sad. 😢 That old man temperament got the best of him
William should go to prison for the rest of his life. Was he that stupid to not realize it was a scam and he didn’t need to give anyone money? The poor woman was obviously not involved, the old man was looking for a reason.
For a man his age, there is a very real chance that he has dementia. I can't imagine that many lucid people acting like this in such a scenario. I have a grandparent going through dementia right now. He gets very confused. I could easily see him falling for scams like this. My mom wound up taking his phone. Just throwing it out there that the old man might not be "all there".
Yup he was
The expression of fear and confusion on her face absolutely breaks my heart
Totally agree Dr G. Poor lady, heartbreaking. He thought he could be the judge and jury and had a right to take the life of the uber driver lady.
Something similar happened to my mom somebody called her and told her these elaborate stories kept her on the phone for hours. Luckily she called my sister and I and we told her it was a scam.
Why was this dangerous murderer allowed to get out on bail?
This question comes up again and again. A person can be held without bail only when judged either a danger to the community or a flight risk. I expect as a condition of bail he has been required to surrender any firearms in his possession.
It's on film. He is a danger to the community
He's a guilty p.o.s.. setting a bail for someone who's guilt is known is dismissing the crime as a crime. The judge is guilty
Unless the defendant is a flight risk or a danger to the community, bail must be granted.
It's obvious why he got off with a bond. First and foremost, America. He lives in a corrupt government called America. Of course, he is old, he is stupid, and finally, he is the proper color. And let me add. It's a money-making "justice" system.
When put all those reasons together. It ends up being another African who is taken out by a crazed sick ignorant hell-bent racist. That's so-called American justice. It's really all about money. Money answers all things in America. 😢
My soul aches for this woman and her surviving family. My God, what a way to go. Imagine if there werent any footage. 💔
This was beyond tragic. I hope they find the scammer who played this cruel joke. Rest in peace Loletha Hall.
How can an individual get charged with murder and 2 felony murder charges (3 murder charges) for the same murder. Reports say the felonies he committed were felonious assault and kidnapping. By their logic, shouldn't he get a 3rd felony murder charge since murder is also a felony.
The elements of the crimes are different. DA's typically charge them in the alternative.
3 murder charges:
Murder 1
Murder 2
Manslaughter
Got it!!!!!!!
Can't Uber tell the cops who ordered the pickup?? They'd have an account & address she was supposed to deliver to. 🤷🏼♀️
Scammers typically use money mules. That's how they get the money out of the country. I would hope the police followed through.
Absolutely the scammer must be held accountable!
I appreciate all the visuals you typically add to your videos to add depth to your analysis. Great analysis, Dr. G❤
I love that you research the laws and statutes of where the crimes takes place. That makes it more understandable and clear. Thanks for covering this one. Have a great weekend
I'd say William was worse than the scammer. He actively chose murder, not just threats. He wasn't a dementia patient and knew right from wrong when he shot her THREE TIMES.
William's a savage. He had a reason to be afraid or worried, but knew his life was not at risk when he figured out it was a scam and Lolitha was unarmed older lady. He wanted revenge and was eager to kill. He was bloodthirsty man, misogynistic, and enjoyed the cruel power trip he was on as he tortured her.
And prob racist as well
What! This is so incredibly heartbreaking!!! That poor lady 😭💔 This is so horrific!
As much as I understand that this man was older, she was wounded and retreating, and his continued attack was completely unnecessary.
Does anyone use these videos as ASMR to sleep? Todd, you have an excellent voice for ASMR
More police departments are paying attention to scammers targeting the elderly. One vulnerability is the trust older folks have in people calling. They believe what's said to them 😢
Thank you for the consistent and quality content, Doc!
