Jake Allen Horne was 21 and an apprentice electrician in Marietta, Georgia. Having recently lost both parents, he had taken on care of his younger sister and was described as kind, upbeat and hardworking as he learned a trade.

On the afternoon of March 6, 2019, Horne and his boss, 37-year-old Gordon Montcalm, were finishing work at the East Cobb home of 68-year-old Larry Joel Epstein. A dispute with the homeowner escalated and Epstein emerged with a handgun. A doorbell camera recorded Epstein approaching the two contractors and opening fire. Montcalm was shot multiple times but escaped to a neighbor’s house; Horne suffered a single gunshot wound to the head and was placed on life support. He died the next day, March 7, 2019. His organs were donated.

Epstein was taken into custody at the scene and initially charged with aggravated assault and battery; prosecutors later upgraded charges after Horne’s death. A detective testified Epstein accused the electricians of killing his pet ducks, though no evidence supported that claim.

Does anyone have memories of Jake or details about the scene that could help fill gaps in what happened that afternoon?
