‘The glass door shattered. I think they shattered her door,’ the caller said, per WHIOTV. The witness looked outside and saw a man, who police said was Jacob. ‘I opened up my back door, and he said he had a gun (and) to get back in my house. And he hopped off their patio and left,’ the caller said.
Police told WHIOTV that Jacob had just killed Gustitus in her apartment at this point. They added that Jacob also killed Jaymee, but did not disclose how or where.
