Michelle Jacobson, 43, a real estate broker, was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head in her Denver home in the early morning hours of a late September day in 2019. Police responded after neighbors reported screaming and sobbing; a witness said Jacobson and her 43-year-old fiancé, Micah Kimball, had gone into a backyard shed and sounds of a woman’s distress came from there. Officers discovered Jacobson in a bedroom and arrested Kimball at the scene; he was charged with first-degree murder.

Investigative and courtroom developments introduced conflicting interpretations. A handgun was found in Jacobson’s left hand, though she was reportedly right-handed. The medical examiner did not formally classify the death as a homicide. Forensic testing reportedly found no gunshot residue on Kimball, and a crime scene investigator expressed the opinion that the evidence didn’t support homicide; that opinion was later said to have been withheld from the defense. A jury ultimately acquitted Kimball, who then sued the detectives for malicious prosecution alleging withheld evidence.

What details about Jacobson’s final hours or the shed confrontation might still clarify what happened?
