Chilling 911 audio has revealed the moment Ohio cops discovered an innocent Uber driver dying on a driveway after the homeowner shot her multiple times.
Lo-Letha Toland-Hall, 61, was gunned down by William Brock, 81, on March 25 in the rural village of South Charleston, located between Columbus and Cincinnati.
Dashcam footage from her cab shows Brock pointing a pistol at her - and DailyMail.com has now obtained audio of the 911 call he made after shooting.
A call handler reads Brock's address at Clifton Road before saying: 'Getting a report of a female that has been shot... a black female laying in the driveway.'
Brock later told cops that scammers had made threatening calls to him demanding money - and police believe the same fraudsters called Toland-Hall's Uber to his home to 'pick up a package'.

Toland-Hall became the oblivious victim of the twisted set-up when she arrived at Brock's property and he demanded to know who sent her before pulling the trigger.
'She's been shot in the leg, possibly somewhere else as well,' the female call handler can be heard saying on the 911 audio.
'It sounded like the caller shot the female,' she added. 'She was shot in the leg and shoulder.'
Uber has also broken its silence over the incident, saying it is supporting the police investigation into the killing of Toland-Hall, a mother-to-one from Columbus, Ohio.
'This is a horrific tragedy and our hearts continue to be with Lo-Letha’s loved ones as they grieve,' the ride-hailing app said in a statement.
'We have been in contact with law enforcement and remain committed to supporting their investigation.'
Brock told police he had been received threatening phone calls from scammers demanding money in the weeks running up to the deadly altercation.
On the day of the shooting, a scammer had called him telling him a relative was in jail.
They demanded money from him, then placed an order via Uber for someone to collect a package from his house, officials believe.
Beloved mother-of-one Lo-Letha Toland-Hall, 61, was shot dead by William Brock in the town of South Charleston on March 25
She leaves behind one child, Mario Hall, who she is said to have had an 'unbreakable bond' with
Brock has been charged with murder after he admitted to shooting an Uber driver who'd been tricked by a scammer to pick up a package at the man's home
Toland-Hall was unaware the older man was being targeted, and thought the job was legitimate.
When she showed up to collect it, Brock shockingly whipped out a gun and demanded she identify who had sent her.
He also allegedly took her phone and wouldn't let her leave. A scuffle between the two broke out, during which Brock shot Toland-Hall at least three times.
She suffered wounds to her upper left side of her torso, left thigh, inside of her left knee and the center mass of her sternum.
Toland-Hall tried to get back to her car as Brock shot her. She can also be heard screaming in pain while Brock threatened to 'shoot the other leg.'
Brock said she attacked him after he fired the first shot by slamming his head into her car door.
He shot her again as she tried to escape, because according to him he believed she was about to retrieve a weapon of her own.
Brock told deputies - 'without being asked' as they put it - that Hall was there to 'take [my] money.'
'He provided he didn't want to shoot her but he 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 while undergoing surgery, authorities said.
Lo-Letha Hall, 61, was an Uber driver who had been called on a job to pick up a parcel from William Brock's home. Brock, who had been receiving scam calls moments before, believed Hall was there to take his money, according to officials
Toland-Hall was remembered as a beloved mother and entrepreneur at her funeral last week
One of the people he suspected was scamming him and threatening him messaged Uber delivery driver Letha Hall (pictured left), 61, to tell him to pick up a package at Brock's home
Hall showed up at Brock's home and according to police, 'made no threats or assaults' toward him and just asked about the package. Fearing she was going to hurt him, Brock whipped out a gun and demanded she identify who had sent her
Brock has been charged with murder because he didn't call 911 until after the shooting, and because there was 'no active threat presented by Ms. Hall at any time during the encounter' according to police.
He posted a $200,000 bond but could face further charges after the incident is investigated further.
Toland-Hall was remembered as a beloved mother and entrepreneur at her funeral last week.
She attended Ohio State University for horticulture, and was an avid gardener, fisherwoman and cook, according to her obituary.
She leaves behind one child, Mario Hall, who she is said to have had an 'unbreakable bond' with.
Mario Hall wrote on Facebook: '[She] was my best friend, my heart and my light. Her presence and unconditional love will be sorely missed.'
