“I’m still in shock, confused, it doesn’t feel like it’s real,” said Jacobs’ sister Tara.
Jacobs was killed near the intersection of Highway 72 and Hines Street in Athens while walking to a friend’s home.
For his siblings Tara and Calvin, its been an emotional start to the new year without their oldest brother who they say kept the family together.
“He was a joy to be around and I’m missing a part of me, I’m still numb, it’s like I’m living in a dream and I can’t wake up,” Tara told News 19.
