#Ohio #Uber #Shooting
The person that ordered the Uber trip set her up to die. That person needs to be prosecuted.
Agreed. There is more to this story
And this racist loser
Bad to be someone who wanted her dead or for him to be put away and punished. Or a new kind of serial killer
.. and by prosecuted, you mean executed.
Maybe just maybe she was involved
The person that called the Uber driver is banned? Really? That person should be arrested and charged!
No one said that was his only punishment
@@mizzury54the point is they didnt say anything else at all!!
@@mizzury54 "No OnE SAid it WAsN'T"
If something else happened, they definitely would have mentioned it. @@mizzury54
I feel so bad for that lady. She was trying, she was working. And minding her own business, imagine what she was going through during that. May she be blessed and may she live in safely, calmly in heaven. God will take care of her.
She wasn't a threat, she was trying to leave, absolutely no reason to shoot her, this is straight up murder.
Exactly this 💔. That short clip was so hard to watch. Her body language was clear - I am not a threat, you are scaring me, I can't move away quickly.
yea guy is a murder, kidnapper and probably race played a part
And she was crippled for Hevean's sake. And shouldn't it matter she was a woman? 💁
@@Pizza-gb1ch Sexist much? He thought she was part of a kidnapping plot.
Murdaaa
That poor woman could barely walk and was working as a delivery driver and gets murdered. Just heart breaking…everyone involved needs to be in jail
Scammers demand money and send an Uber driver to pick up the money. Innocent she might have been. As far as he knew, she was in on the scam.
Amen May this Dear Soul rest in Peace Lord be with her Family
Alot of the comments are not condemning the man who KILLED HER. The reason why these scams and swatting works is because suburban whites and the police forces are hateful people who shoot anyone not white who dares to enter the suburbs.
A lot of our elderly get constant messages of fear from the news and elsewhere in addition to constant scams. Their brains have turned to mush.
@@maryfaith8286 she was there to pick the package, and was set up, she was just doing her job
That poor woman, just trying to earn a living. Absolutely awful
It’s horrific. I feel so bad for her I don’t know what to think
Yeah well someone is guilty of sending an Uber.
She was part of the scam, she had been banned from Uber.
Sick
People need to seriously get a grip. Our morals and values have gone out the window. People are far too easy to cause damage and harm. We need to turn this all around, it's just getting ridiculous.
How does he claim to be scared but stole the woman's phone, tried to prevent her from leaving, killed her, then lied. Thank goodness for her dashcam.
The guy was bleeding from the head. You may have missed that
@@t2av159good!! He’s a gronk
@@t2av159❤Didn’t miss that either but it said he took her phone she was fighting him to get her phone & leave. It’s a sad story for both, he was scared because of the calls, and she died because of the stupid caller, and she died because he was scared. There both the victims 🙏🏾🥰🙏🏾🥰🙏🏾🥰🙏🏾
@@t2av159 He clearly followed her to her car while she had her hands up, trying to defuse the situation. We must be fair.
Which part do we know he lied about?
The scammer that set this whole thing up needs to be prosecuted for MURDER
Don't worry, it won't happen. The cops won't try to find him and the crooked liberal DA is fully content with making headlines of getting a guy with a gun locked up.
Very possibly an overseas scam. I hope they find them, but possibly not. These scams are occuring all the time. Some scams even have voice recording of loved ones ( from cell phones) to carry out the scam. Call the police if you get a call. Try to get callback number from the scammer.
Alot of the comments are not condemning the man who KILLED HER. The reason why these scams and swatting works is because suburban whites and the police forces are hateful people who shoot anyone not white who dares to enter the suburbs.

The old white man is responsible for MURDER
That's Uber
Why didn't he call the police? "They started fighting?".. If she fought it was for her life. Someone attempted to scam him and he murdered her.
Why didn't the old man just call the police? There was no reason to shoot that woman.
Because he felt like killing her that day.
Exactly!
The scam was about bail money. Some people have suggested the scammers said they were cops telling him it wouldn't matter if he called them and, being cops, it would be easy to make good on their threats.
@@woodstream6137 There are literally dozens of state & federal agencies that one could call about misconduct by local police. In the case of kidnapping & ransom, it's usually the FBI.
He’s a racist that’s why. He thought she was a criminal bc she’s black
Banned!!!! That caller needs to be found and arrested TODAY!
Exactly!!! Like banned isn’t even a whiff of justice!
That is all UBER can do. Its up to the police to do the rest. I'm sure Uber will turn over whatever info they have.
They don’t exist
Uber is not law enforcement.
Hysteria won’t achieve anything
It's probably a scammer with a stolen credit card.
The person or persons (those calling the man and Uber) who started this *should* be in prisoned.
And the old man is the biggest criminal in this incident. Thank god he will spend the rest if his time in prison

Caller need to be tracked and arrested.
She was in her 60s, was unarmed, had a limp, and was trying to leave. I hope they put him in jail for whatever's left of his miserable life.
He’s facing murder charges and other charges which is appropriate but the real bad guy in this situation is whoever set it up.
@@vladtheimpala5532 No - the bad guy is the jerk who can see that the lady is not a threat, chooses to pull a gun on her instead of first calling the police, and then doesn't let her leave, and proceeds to murder her!! The caller is also guilty, but just because someone comes at your door that you didn't expect, doesn't give you the right to murder them!! He could have just asked her why she was there taking his package!! He is a low class POS who should never have been allowed to have a gun.
@@ard767 I understand your anger over this, I'm upset from hearing this too, but you're not looking at this from all angles. There is the bad guy (The person that made the phone calls that set this tragedy into motion) playing on the old man's fears and uncertainty of a loved one being threatened for ransom. There's the victim that became the bad guy (The old man with the gun) who, as I said before was acting out of fear and uncertainty over what he perceived as a treat to a loved one, who should've called the police instead of pulling his gun on an innocent woman making him a murderer. And the true victim made pawn (The female Uber driver) who was shot in cold blood. I am not excusing what the old man did, because the moment he went after the woman when she was trying to leave, it was not self defense or anything altruistic, but murder. However, the real bad guy at the forefront of all this is the caller, and I hope the police will do everything possible to find him and bring him to justice for his actions. Sorry for the lengthy reply.
@@vladtheimpala5532He is the real bad guy . He killed her while she was walking away and not a threat. He also had a ton of oppurtunity to call the police.
@@tywilbert4437When you look at it from all angles you realize the old man shot an unarmed woman who was trying to get away from him .
You also realize that he had the chance to call the police and FBI about the ransom , and even right there on the spot he didn't act rationally at all .
I'm very pro 2nd Amendment but when this woman
tried to leave this man's life was not in danger, he had no
right to shoot her.
Exactly correct. Americans who carry weapons have a legal obligation to do so responsibly. This man committed murder by using lethal force an unarmed person (an unarmed elderly person, I will add). It's a disgusting way to throw away your own life.
because these peoples dont tend to come back . sur
How generous of you 🙄
She has no threat at all what are you talking about second amendment for leave that out of the conversation this was not a good shooting at all
@@5000NATE what? He wasn't defending her at all. You just saw him write pro second amendment and off you went. Geez.
Being scammed doesn’t give you right to take the laws into your hands. Send the old man to prison.
not a scam if your life and family's lives are threatened
But being threatened allows you to defend yourself, especially when police response times are over 10 minutes in most of this country.
@@fleatactical7390Yeah but you can’t assume everyone who visits is a threat.

She was ….. and he had a smirk on his face in the mugshot he did it for the man
Sadly, I think you know the answer already. People like this are awful.
Because she was black
She wasn't a threat to him, she was retreating, he wasn't in imminent danger. Condolences to the family.
You don’t know that based off a two and a half minute video. He probably felt like he was in imminent danger, you know cause of the threats of violence against him and his family. And probably assumed this poor woman was behind it. It’s not black and white, right or wrong
@@raidernation9920 but if someone is RETREATING, not threatening you and you STILL pursue them... Then that's where it turns.
@@raidernation9920stfu he was not in danger
But "THE THREAT DEFENSE " IS WHAT THEY WILL USE.
Somebody made threats to the guy and his family on behalf of her (at least as a patsy). Whoever made the threats, ransom demands, and called her to pick up the package needs to face some real consequences.
I hope the caller gets arrested.
Chances are they won't, they probably use the Uber as a money mule, who will then unsuspectingly, drop it off to an address where the package will be stolen and then shipped, or the shipment address, is that of another money mule.
I doubt the ladder.
The gunman needs to go to prison.
They’re going to India to get him?
The gunman was an old man under threat... any man that old under threats to his family would act no non-sense.
@kyloren3693 si u think it's ok for him to murder someone in cold blood. He should have called 911 first instead of shooting an Innocent old woman
She was unarmed. Why not call the cops on her?

Because he is very old and terrified.
@@jabloneynophony1875 of another elderly person, let alone a woman? You are a coward and so was he

Exactly.
yup......this was an execution, and I am ardently pro self defense......but this guy broke EVERY single rule in using self defense as a defense
He believes she is an accomplice to the blackmail, fool! I would have stoped he too. By any means possible.
So, 5 seconds of a confrontation that likely took several minutes to conclude is enough for you to decide what's going on? How stupid can you be? Clearly he thought this individual was involved in the scam - anyone would have.
The problem with society is people like you, not him. You enable criminal activity by always giving them an out or a justification for their actions...

That poor, poor woman. What a horrible thing to do to her.
The guy who shot the woman needs to go to jail............then the person who ordered the uber needs to go to jail.
the person who ordered the uber is a scammer in pakistan.
The person who ordered the Uber needs to go under the jail.
*prison
after hearing the story, and seeing how old he is. I think he got manipulated into thinking this poor woman was apart of the “scam.” Obviously what he did was horrible, but they need to investigate the person who ordered the Uber. Also the people requesting the ransom money. Seems like a sick plot.
He's obviously half demented at his age, probably won't be fit to stand trial.

He shot a limping old Woman? Because someone on the phone scammed Him? No. Just no.
He was getting death threats but still I don’t think he was thinking straight
Thank you!
You do realize he was white...and he's using the standard defense of "I was in fear"..... we all know what typically happens in court with those factors.
He was made to think she was part of it and in today's America, things are bad.

My heart breaks for the woman. My prayers go out to the family.
Looking at her trying to do her job even as she struggles to walk is heartbreaking, knowing she’s been murdered for just doing her job.

This is awful what happened to that woman.
Same! I'm crying. She walks like my mom. She really reminds me of my mom.This is so sad 😞
Yeah, the limping got to me 😢 Seems like she had a bad hip or disc problems in her lower back.

@@bkminchilog1 Yes, he was charged.
He has been charged, but we need to consider his mindset.
The scammer called claimed he was a cop, sent this woman to his house to get the money. The old guy may not have known better, he was harassed and threatened over the phone and may have believed she was there to rob him.
That woman was trying to live her life and support her children. This is too sad.
her children are old adults who can work
Does it matter ? They’re still a family that needs to support themselves and each other. Why does it matter if their adults, and she have to make a living too.
as we've all seen the retirement age pushed back, elderly people dont re enter the work force for no reason, they gotta support themselves. Uber banned the account but that account should have been tracked down to find that scammer, shouldnt there be more verification for people to set up an account with uber ?

hold up. there is a lot of info we don't know yet. don't jump to conclusions. is it possible this lady knew the person that called Uber? could this lady have been the caller from an anonymous account? what was said off camera? I noticed they didn't play the audio.
Never mind the fact that someone orchestrated the whole thing to get the old man to believe she was responsible for the threatening phone calls that morning.
The gun owner/shooter/killer should have known she was not there to rob him. Like you said, she could barely move at a brisk pace. The fact that she was retreating as he brandished is revolver and walked her past her vehicle was striking imagery. She didn’t have a weapon and she was pleading for her life.

The media's primary job is to INFORM. And the viewers' responsibility is to THINK about what they're hearing and form their own emotional response.
Too many viewers rely on the media to spoonfeed them "their" interpretation and emotional response, but outsourcing your judgment to corporate entites is usually a bad idea.
Typical racist BS reporting 🙄
@@llkg9 my brother in Christ. if it was a blonde woman. the whole uber company would be sent back to Germany where they belong
@@llkg9That's what you want the media to be, NOT what they really are. Virtually all media companies in the US 🇺🇸 and Europe 🇪🇺 are split into either Liberal or Conservative. That's how it has been from day one, and there's a reason for that - politics affect everyone's life.
@@llkg9 easy to say when it's not your loved one that was murdered
How can you shoot someone who's walking away from you? What did she do to him?
He had the most old-timey gun I've seen in years
No way was he ever justified for killing this woman
Yep it's sad, but the scammer is the reason she's dead. Who knows though, she may have been in on it. People need caller ID, if there is no ID, don't answer it.
She may have been in on it....????? I'm asking this as a question not making a statement. Editing it so it's clear. Someone else suggested that she's in on it I'm just confused as to why they think that. I see something different she's retreating he's chasing her. When I'm scared of something I don't run after it. That's just me but I guess old white men with guns are built different.

@@KingfishStevens-di9jino you're not
She tried to go and then he shoots her ? Idgaf what happened up to that ... He's dead wrong and needs to be locked up !!!!!!!
He took her phone which is a major violation and proves intent to hold her against her will. Absolutely needs to be locked up.
Lady had a hard time walking.
Why??
Agree
that's probably why they are charging him with murder. It's literally in the story at 0:13
He might have thought she was in on threatening him and his family. How was he supposed to know? This is a horrific nightmare. Whoever made those calls is just as guilty of murder as the elderly man is.
Old man needs life in prison
He could have called the police if he felt threatened when he was getting these calls. Instead of going outside and confronting the driver . This should have had a caretaker living with him.
The police do NOT show up on every call. R U under age 40?
@@-wasagoodday No I'm older than that . I'm saying to reach someone to get a better understanding on what he was going through. I also said he needs a caretaker .
@@user-ou9xo5xj3d WE were NOT in his shoes. I am GLAD I do NOT live in certain parts of Chicago, NYC, DC, L.A, San fran, Portland, Seattle. KNOW hunting season in Chicago is just starting. Happens every spring, summer, fall.
He should definitely be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. He executed an unarmed elderly disabled woman.
True but he was old and didn’t understand what was going on he’s been getting death threats all morning then this lady shows up and he has no clue why. I agree what he did was wrong but it’s not the usual evil man kills black woman for maga like people will try to make it out to be
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!
Well, yeah. But it sounds like someone was torquing him up pretty hard. That poor woman found herself in the middle of some heavy drama. That's just horrible what happened.
@@joeljoss1916 A person with common sense would stop talking to the scammer or contact police.
@@0816M3RCOlder ppl are easy targets, especially if the scammer knows a little bit of info about their lives and can keep them engaged.
Caller should be charged with murder as well.
Accessory to murder
It’s a scam caller how are you going to track a fake number and fake person dude probably a Indian scam caller I get the same calls
@@redhunnid5142 You aren't familiar with technology or telecommunications, are you? Tracking calls is easier today than it has ever been, even easier for authorities investigating a murder.
I'm 1000% sure it came from a burner phone used by the scammers.
@@elmaster27428murder
Who's the scam caller 😐
That prank caller needs to be prosecuted.
If she didn't take anything and is retreating, there's no reason to shoot.
Who ever sent her there should be charged with Conspiracy to commit Murder
They can't find those scammers they're usually in India.
How do you charge someone calling from India?
Yet it was the old white guy who did the shooting
@@CBourn48223 Negligence, depraved indifference to human life, manslaughter. When you're not an adult, please, please, please stop making stupid comments online.
Usual suspects
Accused!?! That’s murder!!! She’s clearly trying to get away from him!!!
Accused because the legal process has yet to happen, thus "innocent until proven guilty".
However, in court, I'd wager his lawyer will argue that being old, being pursued in a scam, etc. is a reason against the accusation of murder.
I'd wager he'll get a 2nd degree murder charge personally though. It's not pre-meditated, and even if he is senile, he shouldn't have a gun if he's not mentally capable of proper use. Thus, regardless how you feel, he wrongfully took a life.
We'll see how the courts play out though.
@@ZaneBlalock 100% agree with everything you just stated. Very well said. A lot of people seem to forget that anyone accused of crime is presumed innocent until proven beyond a reasonable doubt to be guilty in a court of law. Even in cases where it is as obvious as what we see here, there is still a process that must be followed.
Unless you have a case example where something like this happened you're just delusional.
I don’t know this one is messy i bet u could say based on intent he will be found not guilty but i don’t know for sure
Not guilty.
the scammers behind the calls for this elderly lady who operates a uber for a living should be picking up a sentence, this lady lost her life because she responded to a call to pick up a package that never was, very very sad indeed
We are living in a cruel environment
That poor woman, she could barely walk. She was just going to work and ends up dead for no reason?!
Kaiser Soze could barely walk, and he masterminded the whole thing!
I wouldn’t say no reason. Bad luck. The old guy was being scammed and he was the elderly.
@@dunsmoregaines4239and that gives you the right to shot first ask questions later and lying about your victim why???? He has to go to prison because he is sn evil old man…
It’s so sad, her children and family must be devastated and angry 😢
she was in on it.
He's not too old to spend the rest of his life in prison for murdering a innocent woman.
You are as slow and dim as they get.
He is too senile to have a weapon. This is why we need gun control!
He had no idea who she was, and killed her cause he was too hasty. It's insane!
*Edit: for those you love to pretend gun control is impossible to do, or not going to alleviate so much of the anguish weapons cause in this country.*
Every 5 years you must be mentally evaluated.
After age 75 every 3 years a well fair check must be conducted. Elderly people use firearms to commit suicide often.
National database/universal registration so law enforcement knows who legal gun owners are.
Something tied to your legal ID.
Its not complicated or an infringement of rights.
The founders said we could "bare arms", they did not say *ANYONE, ANYWHERE, COULD WEILD ANY WEAPON.* 😡
_Or are you all also in favor of truck mounted machine guns and rocket launchers?🙄_
Yeah its not gonna be that simple of a case..
@@ljeans531
define "gun control" because i hear that term used a lot but no one seems to have a clear definition of what it stands for.
@@ljeans531 you are just reacting to feelings and not facts.
My question is how did a scammer connect these two together
Looks like the scammer simply called for an Uber to his address to pick up a package. She just happened to be the driver. Probably thought nothing of it until he came out with the gun. Really sad. Find the caller.
@@mitchellturton4594 sad all the way around he was probably scared and nervous and she had no clue. I feel bad for her family and his also something he hast to live with.
This broke my heart. reminded me of my mom. How she was already limping.
There was a delay before he shot her. She was begging😢
Why didn't he just stay in his house and call the police? His actions are completely unjustified.
Exactly. He held her hostage, would not allow her to leave even though he felt "threatened", then murdered her.
The police won't save your life, he's and OLD man who was life threatned and blackmailed , what's hes supposed to do?
@@darthmalum6024 he could stay in the house. She didn't have a weapon. She was dragging her leg. She was pleading for her life. Get help.
Exactly
@@darthmalum6024 go back in the house
This is murder not self defense she wasn't even armed so why pull a firearm.
Maybe because the guy felt threatened because somebody was trying to scam him earlier and he didn’t know he was confused
How do we know the uber driver isnt in on it? Dont nail me to the cross for asking that I really hope she wasnt but how do we know? Cops aint gonna let these people know they are onto them..
The scammer put that woman’s life in danger by blackmailing that old man. That scammer needs to be arrested and prosecuted as well as the old man
That would take time and investigation, as long as they charge the old man it's solved in the cops book, they couldn't care less.
The scammer could be in India so think about that for a second
@@Dan-yk6syyour assuming so many things but never worked at a real job before lol
I'm still trying to figure out what the caller's strategy was? Why was the woman sent over there? Obviously there was no package to pick up and the man wasn't going to deliver any $12,000. So what was the purpose of the Uber call/assignment?
they are in india, how are you going to do that?
She was smart to have a dashcam on her car… solved her own murder case
Hopefully his white privilege won't be his ticket to freedom
Brock called the police and confessed to the shooting before anyone saw the footage. Moreover the footage doesn't reveal who set them up. So (a) you're wrong and (b) maybe you could try be less glib about a horrific murder.
Every Uber driver requires one and to work at all times
Heck yea
Yes because that old white man started lying. Did that woman try to rob him? Answer is NO. He just wanted to shoot her
how many murders happened that day all over the country ?
She obviously told him what she was doing and is limping and an older woman. Even if he had scam calls , this woman is no threat. He continued to shoot her. He need to go to jail. No excuse.
That poor dear woman .
My heart breaks for her and her family.
Old man is a murderer. No way he could be threatened by the old lady.
And racist, too!

That old man is racist, he didnt even give her a chance to talk. He should be charged with murder, his property should be confiscated to compensate the family of the deceased,
Hate crime...This monster should be in prison...For life no parole...
Yup a YT 👿
phone scammers need to be tracked down and brought to justice. this man and lady were caught in the scammers' evil plot.
both are victims. I despise those sick, bigoted people out there who call this man a monster. Victim blaming crossed with racial prejudice. It's astonishing to see on such a massive scale. Look at all these lost people who don't even consider how the minds of elderly and frail individuals works. He just wanted it to end. BOTH these victims need justice, they need to find the person or people responsible for orchestrating this.
He shoots her and then calls the police. Why didn’t he call the police first ?
That's how America works
had she not tried to flee the scene with the evidence that was her phone, he would not have shot her. Why didn't she call the police? How do you know she's not a paid mule for extortion rackets? ... NO ONE is seeing that the lady made herself look guilty trying to flee.
@@deadsolarsystem6298 imagine thinking that justifies shooting someone
@@deadsolarsystem6298are you slow ? They said he took her phone she wasn’t leaving with anything
@@kkonabill95right ? Guy’s take is insane
The old man needs to be charged as well, whether he thought she was a criminal or not, she definitely was not a danger to him.
How would he know she was not an accomplice?
@@gorillapermacuture A 60 year old unarmed woman with a limp is the accomplice they sent? He obviously had absolutely no fear and knew he was not in danger. He is actually following her and then shoots her. Just imagine if you are walking down the road and somebody mistakely points you out as the person who robbed them then proceeds to run after you and shoot you down. how is that not criminal
did you not even read the news or watch the article posted here? He IS being charged... with murder.
He had no reason to shoot her, and that's why he's being charged with murder... if she was an accomplice or not is irrelevant... she was not a threat, he had the situation under control without force. he should have called the police and let them sort it out.
Instead he decided to employ lethal force, and now he's going to prison where he will die before he is released.
its a horrible situation all around, and the person who ordered the uber needs to be found and arrested, the mastermind behind this tragedy
@@gorillapermacuture You're pretty soft-headed, huh? Let's say, against all logic and reason, she WAS complicit with Anonymous Scammer, and was actively trying to steal money from him. In what state do you imagine a victim of ATTEMPTED theft is legally permitted to extrajudicially slay the supposed thief?
@@gorillapermacuturewho cares even if she was would that justify murdering her!?
Luckily the law understands this and is rightly charging him with murder.
