Clark County Sheriff Louis Rosandich tells WCCN they are also investigating tips that Jacoby may have been involved in another altercation before he confronted a passerby on Riviera Avenue, prompting a 9-1-1 call. No further information in that matter is being released at this time.
Both Clark and Jackson County officers responded to the scene; it remains unclear which officer, or officers, fired the fatal shot or shots. Jacoby?s body was sent to Minnesota for an autopsy on Tuesday.
