According to reports, Ettienne, alerted by the fire, ran downstairs to check before going back up to wake Jacobs. The fire covered the building and the two couldn't escape and died from smoke inhalation and thermal injuries.

As per media reports, Jacobs had broken up with Aliya around a year ago, but she still attempted to pursue him. The New York Post quoted Jacobs’ mother, “Like any other person that is being rejected, he was letting her know like ‘I’m done with you.”
