Yolanda Dillion, 54, was fatally stabbed by 29-year-old Brandon Jacobs, who is then suspected of posting a video of the violent aftermath to Facebook.
On Thursday, December 8, after picking him up for his trip, the passenger allegedly killed his victim from the backseat of her vehicle in Louisiana, United States.
After being detained by police on suspicion of the crime, he proceeded to stroll to a hotel where he had reserved a room in advance.
“We specifically questioned him on how he selected her. In answer, he said, “Uber picked her, not me.” She was the haphazard individual who picked him up that day.
“In the backseat, he was. from behind stabbed her. exited the car and merely strolled away.”
Yolanda was adored by her coworkers and she worked as a budget administrator for the New Orleans Police Department.
The Jefferson Parish Sherriff’s Office said that the suspect was apprehended “within hours of the murder” in a statement.
“Our investigation has revealed that the victim was an Uber driver giving Jacobs a ride from a place in New Orleans to the hotel,” they claimed.
Jacobs repeatedly stabbed her after the ride was over before getting out of the car.
