Loletha Hall was shot six times, detectives told the jury.
As reported on News Center 7, Hall, 61, died after being shot in the 7000 block of South Charleston Clifton Road on March 25, 2024.
Detectives said they found a dash camera plugged into Hall’s cigarette lighter.
That dash camera shows gunfire, screams for help, what sounds like a car door opening, then what sounds like several more shots and more screaming.

Prosecutors asked detectives what they heard.
“She says, ‘Stop or I’ll call 911,’” Detective Brian Melchi said.
He said that they did not find evidence that Hall had a weapon.
“She was screaming for help, and then Mr. Brock was saying, ‘give me the phone,’ then she is still continuing to scream when he says, ‘I’ll shoot you in the other leg,” Melchi said.
Video included previously unseen video from a rear-facing dashcam.
“He then says, ‘I’ll shoot you in the head,’ and that’s when she screams, ‘Please don’t,’ and then he says to her, ‘Who do you work for?’ She replies that she works for Uber,” Melchi said.
Brock’s Lawyer, Jon Paul Rion, told the jury his actions are consistent with a man who had received phone calls from scammers to pay $12,000, or he would be killed.
The jury inside the courtroom watched the 30-minute video that showed Hall sit in Brock’s driveway for almost 25 minutes before getting out to approach Brock’s door.
Rion also showed jurors Hall’s entire trip from Columbus to Clark County.
He claimed to hear something suspicious, a man getting in her car, as she briefly paused in South Charleston.
Detectives disputed that claim, saying the audio is inconclusive.
Rion claimed Hall spoke with other people while in Brock’s driveway.
Detectives confirm they hear her make statements, but don’t hear a response.
