Authorities said the victim, a New Orleans Police Department employee who was moonlighting as an Uber driver, was killed by a passenger after driving him to his hotel.
Details of the fatal stabbing were first handed down by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office just after 10 p.m. Thursday. In the release, Sheriff Joseph Lopinto confirmed that a woman was found inside a vehicle with a stab wound in the parking lot of a Travelodge hotel in Harvey, Louisiana, around 3 p.m.
After taking him into custody a few hours after the stabbing, Lopinto says Jacobs provided deputies with a full confession. “We asked him specifically, ‘How did you pick her?’” Lopinto said. “His response was, ‘I didn’t pick her, Uber picked her.’ She was the random person that picked him up that day.”
