Jacob Clay Farlow was 17 when he died from a gunshot wound at his home on Bells Branch Trail in Centerville, Tennessee, on October 19, 2018. He was taken to St. Thomas Hickman Hospital, where he succumbed to his injury.

Initial reports suggested a possible suicide, but investigators later reclassified the case as a homicide. The inquiry uncovered narcotics involvement linked to the events surrounding Jacob’s death. Two juveniles were arrested and charged with first-degree criminal homicide; their names were not released because they are minors. Both had court appearances and were appointed counsel, and an administrative hearing was set for mid-November 2018.

Few details about the circumstances at the home or what role each juvenile allegedly played have been released. Did anyone in the Centerville area know Jacob or see him in the days before October 19, 2018?
