Jacob Andrew Lucas was 20 when he was shot and killed inside a home on Hilferty Road in Burke County on September 14, 2016. Born January 19, 1996, in Gaston County, he graduated from South Point High School in 2015 and worked as an auto detailer. Jacob enjoyed the outdoors, roller skating, and helped at the Haunted Mill in Belmont.

Authorities say the shooting occurred after 19-year-old Caleb van Arsdale returned home from his third shift. Investigators report van Arsdale shot Jacob in a bedroom, fled in Jacob’s car after removing its tag, and later turned himself in at the Hickory Police Department, where he confessed. Van Arsdale was charged with murder and held without bond at the Burke Catawba District Confinement Facility.

Does anyone have information about Jacob’s movements that night or anything that could help clarify what led to this deadly altercation?
