Jacobs had earlier in the day requested transport to New Orleans, but when he discovered he needed a ride back to his hotel in Harvey, he decided against killing the driver, according to Lopinto. When he did, Dillion approved his request for a second ride using the Uber app.

“We deliberately asked him, ‘How did you choose her?'” said Lopinto. “I didn’t pick her, Uber picked her,” he said in response. She was the haphazard individual who picked him up that day.

Dillion was a cherished employee, according to Shaun Ferguson, the superintendent of the New Orleans Police Department.

Ferguson remarked, “Our squad is taking it fairly hard. Her absence will be greatly felt. She was quite modest and shy. Because she meant a lot to this department and it devastated our employees, I would describe her as a quiet giant.

Deputies in Jefferson Parish are still looking. A second-degree murder charge has been brought against Jacobs.
