Uber is helping police in Ohio track down the scammer who sent a driver to a home where she was shot to death by an older man.

The ride-share company described the alleged murder of Loletha Hall, 61, as "a horrific tragedy."

A statement obtained by WLWT-TV read, "Our hearts continue to be with Loletha's loved ones as they grieve." 

The account that dispatched Hall to the home of her shooter, 86-year-old William Brock 86, has since been disabled, Uber confirmed.

Brock pleaded not guilty to charges of murder, kidnapping, and assault for the fatal shooting of Hall, according to the Associated Press.

According to authorities, on March 25, scammers sent Hall to Brock's South Charleston, Ohio, home under the guise that she was to pick up a package.

At the same time, Brock told investigators he had received a call from scammers demanding money and making threats.

When she arrived, Brock allegedly held Hall at gunpoint and demanded that she reveal the identities of the men he had spoken with on the phone.

He allegedly refused to let the woman leave his property and seized her cell phone. At no point in their encounter did Brock call 911 or ask anyone else for help dealing with the situation, said authorities.

Hall attempted to flee the scene, but Brock chased after her and then allegedly discharged his weapon, striking Hall. The two then got into a physical altercation, and Brock sustained minor injuries. Brock shot Hall twice more before calling 911 and reporting that he had hit a robber.

Hall was transported to a nearby hospital, where she succumbed to her wounds, WSYX reported.

Brock posted a $200,000 bond. He's due back in court on April 22.
