In the early morning hours of January 29, 2018, police in Athens, Georgia, responded to a shooting at a duplex on Sartian Drive. Inside, 22-year-old Jennifer Christine Jacobs was found deceased in her bedroom from a gunshot wound to the chest. A weapon was recovered at the scene and two other people were present, including her boyfriend.

Authorities announced a development in April 2018 when Jennifer’s boyfriend, Antonio Littlejohn, was charged with her murder; at that time he was already incarcerated on firearms violations. Investigators said they believed her death was a result of domestic violence. A 55-year-old man named Barry Jerome Nelson was also reportedly involved, though specific charges against him were not immediately clear. By July a grand jury had indicted Littlejohn on felony murder, malice murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.

Jennifer was remembered as free-spirited, someone who loved dancing, music, and singing, and she is survived by a young daughter, her parents, and sisters. Did anyone in the Athens area see or hear anything around Sartian Drive that night?
