Jacob Kenneth Jake Dunham, 21, was one of 12 people killed at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, California, on November 7, 2018. He was at the venue with friends when a lone gunman opened fire; the attacker, identified as Ian David Long, died at the scene of a self-inflicted wound.

Jake was described as having an adventurous spirit and a love of extreme sports, and he faced significant health challenges, including a rare bleeding disorder and partial blindness. The shooter had a history of mental health problems and prior encounters with law enforcement; despite that, he legally purchased the firearm used in the attack.

Families of victims, including Jake’s, pursued litigation against the gun manufacturer and the establishment, alleging negligence and inadequate security. The shooting prompted widespread public discussion about gun policy and mental health support, and the community held memorials to honor those who died.

If anyone knew Jake or was at Borderline that night and can add details about him or the events, please share what you know.
