Jacob Jake Rameau, 26, was killed in Muskegon, Michigan after pursuing a car thief on June 26, 2014. He and his brother were at DJ’s Pub when the brother’s car was stolen from the parking lot; Rameau chased the stolen vehicle on his Harley-Davidson. During the high-speed pursuit through Muskegon Heights, a passenger in the stolen car fired shots that struck Rameau and caused him to crash. He died at the scene.

Authorities identified the driver of the stolen vehicle as Dashawn Andrew Boylan and the shooter as Robert Gee. Reports say Gee fired to prevent Rameau from stopping the theft, turning what began as a traffic incident into a homicide investigation. Both men were later prosecuted and convicted for their roles in Rameau’s death.

Rameau was known locally as the lead singer of the band Lakeshore Drive and for his devotion to family and friends. If anyone has information about that night or knew Jake, please share what you remember.
