Members of Jabara’s family issued statements after his death suggesting that police should have intervened sooner. “My family lived in fear of this man and his hatred for years,” read a statement from the family. “Sensitive to the core, he loved others so much and wanted to be loved back.” Jabara’s family couldn’t be reached for comment on Monday. The incident violated a protection order issued by Jabara’s mother against Majors, which stated he not have “any contact” with her. Jabara then had a conversation with Majors, and “the suspect told [Jabara] that someone fired shots into the house”, he said.
