William Brock told investigators he shot Loletha Hall because he thought she was working with a man who called and threatened him and his family. Hall didn't threaten Brock and didn't have a weapon or assault him, according to the sheriff’s office and court documents.
How is the person who sent the Uber not being arrested for murder? “Banned from Uber” doesn’t seem sufficient.

Felony murder laws vary by state. In Ohio, felony murder does not apply to extortion.
