SHARE SOUTH CHARLESTON, Ohio (WCMH) — Deputies in Clark County recorded conversations with a scammer they said unintentionally orchestrated a deadly shooting with an Uber order and phone calls.
The scammer had been calling 81-year-old William Brock on March 25, telling him that one of his relatives was in jail and demanding money, according to the sheriff’s office.

Driver Hall was dispatched by app to pick up at point A and drop at point B.
They should already know from the Uber order.
Uber is a great idea for a high trust society with functioning public safety. I do not expect it to last.
