Chilling 911 audio has revealed the moment Ohio police discovered an innocent Uber driver dying in a driveway after the homeowner shot her multiple times.
Lo-Letha Toland-Hall, 61, was shot 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 he made after the shooting.
An operator reads Brock’s address on Clifton Road and says, “I’m getting a report of a woman shot…a black woman lying in the driveway.”
Brock later told police that scammers had called him threateningly demanding money — and police believe the same fraudsters had called Toland-Hall’s Uber to his home to “pick up a package.”

Brock later told police that scammers called him threateningly and demanded money — and the same fraudsters called the Uber to his house to “pick up a package.”
Toland-Hall became the unwitting victim of the twisted scheme when she arrived at Brock’s property and he demanded to know who sent her before pulling the trigger.
“She was shot in the leg, possibly somewhere else,” the female call leader can be heard saying on the audio of the 911 call.
“It sounded like the caller shot the woman,” she added. “She was shot in the leg and shoulder.”
Uber has also broken its silence on the incident, saying it supports the police investigation into the murder of Toland-Hall, a mother-of-one from Columbus, Ohio.
“This is a horrific tragedy and our hearts remain with Lo-Letha’s loved ones as they mourn,” the ride-hailing app said in a statement.
“We have been in contact with police and remain committed to supporting their investigation.”
Brock told police that in the weeks leading up to the deadly altercation, he had received threatening phone calls from scammers demanding money.
On the day of the shooting, a scammer had called him and told him a family member was in jail.
They demanded money from him and then placed an order through Uber for someone to pick up a package from his home, officials believe.

She is survived by one child, Mario Hall, with whom she is said to have had an “unbreakable bond.”
Brock has been charged with murder after admitting to shooting an Uber driver who was tricked by a scammer into picking up a package from the man’s home
Toland-Hall did not know the older man was being targeted and thought the job was legitimate.
When she showed up to pick it up, Brock shockingly pulled out a gun and demanded she identify who sent her.
He also allegedly took away her phone and didn’t let her leave. A scuffle broke out between the two, with Brock shooting Toland-Hall at least three times.
She suffered injuries to the upper left side of her torso, her left thigh, the inside of her left knee and the mid-mass of her sternum.
Toland-Hall was trying to return to her car when Brock shot her. She can also be heard screaming in pain as Brock threatened to “shoot the other leg.”
Brock said she attacked him after he fired the first shot by hitting his head on the car door.
He shot her again when she tried to escape, because he said he thought she was about to retrieve a gun of her own.
Brock told the officers — “without being asked,” as they put it — that Hall was there to “take.” [my] money.’
“He indicated he did not want to shoot her, but thought she was going to kill him,” the incident report said.
Much of the scene was captured on the video camera in Hall’s vehicle and released by the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.
Toland-Hall was taken to a local hospital but died during surgery, authorities said.

Toland-Hall was remembered at her funeral last week as a beloved mother and entrepreneur
One of the people he suspected of scamming and threatening him messaged Uber delivery driver Letha Hall (pictured left), 61, telling him to pick up a package from Brock’s home.
Hall showed up at Brock’s home and, according to police, made “no threats or attacks” toward him and only asked about the package. Fearing she would hurt him, Brock pulled out a gun and demanded she identify who sent her
Brock has been charged with murder because he did not call 911 until after the shooting and because, according to police, “there was no active threat from Ms. Hall at any time during the encounter.”
He posted a $200,000 bond, but further charges could follow after the incident is further investigated.
Toland-Hall was remembered at her funeral last week as a beloved mother and entrepreneur.
She attended Ohio State University for horticulture and was an avid gardener, fisherman and cook, according to her obituary.
She is survived by one child, Mario Hall, with whom she is said to have had an “unbreakable bond.”
Mario Hall wrote on Facebook: ‘[She] was my best friend, my heart and my light. Her presence and unconditional love will be greatly missed.”
