On April 11, 2019, 19-year-old Aaliyah Destiny Jacobs was found dead from a gunshot wound at a residence on Plain Road in Hinsdale, New Hampshire. Neal Bolster, 29, was also found shot and deceased at the same location when Hinsdale Police conducted a welfare check.

Authorities quickly identified 28-year-old Derrick Shippee of Vernon, Vermont, as a suspect and on April 12, 2019, the New Hampshire State Police issued arrest warrants charging him with two counts of second-degree murder. Shippee was later found deceased in Vernon; an autopsy ruled his death an accidental drug overdose. After that development, the New Hampshire Department of Justice closed the investigation into the killings of Jacobs and Bolster.

Aaliyah was born July 14, 1999, in Greenfield, Massachusetts, and raised and educated in Brattleboro, Vermont. She worked as an elderly caregiver and was remembered as friendly and outgoing who enjoyed dancing, music, and time with family and friends. If anyone knew Aaliyah or has information about her last days, please come forward.
