Jacob Faulkner, a 32-year-old Hispanic man and U.S. Marine Corps veteran from Hamilton, Ohio, died on June 20, 2017, after an exchange of gunfire with Butler County Deputy Taylor Henson. Deputy Henson, a six-year veteran of the force, fired several shots that resulted in Faulkner’s death.

A Butler County grand jury reviewed the shooting and declined to indict Deputy Henson. Prosecutor Michael Gmoser said Faulkner’s actions necessitated deadly force and noted Faulkner struggled with service-related mental health problems, suggesting Faulkner may have intended for his life to end in this confrontation. Faulkner’s family and friends remember him as a talented artist who loved the outdoors and was deeply missed.

Did anyone in the Hamilton area know Jacob or have information about his struggles after leaving the Marines?
