Robert Braden Jacobs Sentenced Yesterday

Robert Braden Jacobs, age 21, was sentenced yesterday to 14 years in the Department of Corrections after pleading guilty to one count of attempted second-degree murder (F3), one count of aggravated retaliation against a witness or victim (F3), and one count of illegal discharge of a firearm (F5). Mr. Jacobs pled guilty on September 29, 2025, pursuant to a plea agreement.

On November 10, 2024, the Loveland Police Department Dispatch received three 911 calls over roughly 90 minutes between 5:00 and 6:30 a.m.  Three victims called 911 to report that their homes had been shot at from a vehicle.  

The last 911 caller also reported that their family was connected to a recently resolved domestic violence case.  They believed the shootings that morning were related to that case. 

Through extensive investigation and interviews, detectives with the Loveland Police Department identified the suspect as Robert Braden Jacobs, who was the son of the individual convicted in the domestic violence case. 

Detectives located Mr. Jacobs, stopped him nearby, and, upon search of the vehicle, a firearm with empty magazines was found. 

“The impacts of gun violence are always terrible, but when it is used to intimidate a victim of a crime, it preys on the fear that already exists for those who come forward to report they have been victimized,” said District Attorney Gordon McLaughlin. “I am grateful that no one was injured and for the dedication of law enforcement and our prosecution team in ensuring Mr. Jacobs is held accountable for his actions.”
