Jacob Tyler Skees, 22, was shot and killed in Louisville, Kentucky, on September 9, 2018. He was found in his vehicle in the Pleasure Ridge Park area; police say events began on Maravian Drive but the shooting likely occurred on Hackel Drive. A witness who had been with Skees escaped, and investigators reported a stray bullet from the incident nearly struck a woman sleeping in a nearby house.

Skees lived in Simpsonville and worked for Penrod Fencing. He performed music under the name High Dream Society and was known for songwriting and art. Louisville Metro Police identified and arrested 22-year-old James Green on murder and related charges, including wanton endangerment, receiving a stolen firearm, tampering with physical evidence and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. Authorities say the firearm had been stolen in 2015 and was allegedly passed to Green’s girlfriend after the shooting; bond was set at $250,000 and Green was ordered to have no contact with the victim’s family.
