Anthony Louis Jacobs, 30, was fatally shot on February 4, 2016, in Nashville after intervening when three armed men forced their way into a neighbor’s home on Dickerson Pike. Employed as a maintenance man at the mobile home park, Jacobs went to the neighbors’ aid at their doorstep; the confrontation moved outside and one of the intruders fired, striking him. He was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and later died of his injuries.

Born March 1, 1985, Jacobs is remembered by neighbors for his readiness to help others; his death followed an act of intervention to protect them. The Nashville Police Department opened a homicide investigation and the three male suspects fled the scene. There is no public information about arrests, suspect identifications, or the case outcome.

If anyone knew Anthony or has information about the incident on Dickerson Pike on February 4, 2016, please come forward.
