Jacob Overeem, 32, was shot and killed at his Arlington home on Dalehurst Drive in Jacksonville on August 17, 2018. According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, an argument with his roommate, 30-year-old Michael Sterling Walklett, escalated that night; Walklett armed himself with a shotgun and fired once into Jacob’s chest. A neighbor’s surveillance camera captured the shooting.

Walklett and his girlfriend remained at the scene; Walklett attempted to apply pressure to the wound while the girlfriend called 911. Jacob was pronounced dead at the scene by Jacksonville Fire and Rescue. Police said alcohol was a contributing factor; Walklett was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and booked into the Duval County jail early the next morning.

Jacob was born August 10, 1986, and was the father of a 7-year-old son, Callihan. Friends and family remembered him for his dedication to family, his lawn-care business Victorious Lawn Care, and his love of Gator and Jaguar football. A celebration of his life was held September 1, 2018, and the family established a GoFundMe for Callihan’s future expenses.

Does anyone have information about Jacob, his time at the Dalehurst Drive residence, or the events that night?
