Jacobs initially told police that he was urinating on a tire when he heard a loud bang and heard Amelia yell "Noah." Jacobs denied knowing who shot Claypool and ever being in possession of a firearm.
Hadley also initially denied knowing who shot Claypool. Hadley told police that the 3 of them had gotten into the truck with Jacobs and Hadley in the front. Hadley told police he heard a gunshot and realized Claypool had been shot a few seconds later.
Police confronted Hadley about a Snapchat video that shows Hadley playing with a gun at the house party before the shooting. At that point, Hadley said he no longer wanted to speak to police
Police interviewed Jacobs again, who continued to deny involvement. By this time, police had examined his truck and found a gun underneath the driver's seat and a bullet hole in a seat.
In addition, they spoke to a witness who saw Jacobs pacing at the scene and getting into the truck before police arrived.
Jacobs eventually admitted that he was urinating on a tire when he heard a gunshot. When he rushed to the passenger side, he saw Claypool on the ground. Jacobs said that Hadley thrusted a gun towards him and he hid the gun under the seat.
Jacobs also said he sold the gun to Hadley during the past week or two. When asked why he had continued to lie about the gun, Jacobs told police that he was scared and fearful of repercussions from law enforcement.
Henderson police ultimately arrested Hadley for the death of Claypool.
Jacobs has not been with any crimes at this time.
