A FITNESS model who was stabbed to death in his apartment made a shocking phone call just before he was killed. 

Jacob Zieben-Hood, 34, who was found dead on his toilet, was covered in stab wounds when police officers found him on August 1.

When cops arrived at the couple’s apartment on Friday, they found Jacob slouched over the toilet with stab wounds on his calf that penetrated his muscle.  

Investigators believe it was Jacob’s allegedly abusive husband, Donald, who killed him, and the latest evidence helps to back that theory up.

After a massive fight the night before his murder, Jacob called his father, claiming that Donald was “coming after him” and wouldn’t let him leave their New York City apartment, prosecutors said in court.

Prosecutors also said that Jacob sent his father a photo of his injured leg.

In the background, Jacob’s dad claimed to have been able to hear Donald calling his son derogatory names.

Friends and neighbors reported that the couple had a track record of blowout arguments and toxic behavior.

“They fought all the time, I would hear it,” Craig Wesley, 44, a neighbor in their building, told The New York Post.

Wesley said the pair’s fighting became a “consistent thing” which led to the cops being called in June.

He claimed to have awoken to the commotion around 4 am on Friday.

Donald, 40, has previously been accused of allegedly choking Jacob and threatening him with a knife back in 2022.

He’s previously defied multiple court protections, and police reported having responded to the couple’s home nine times in three years.

In 2024, officers arrived at the Harlem apartment after Donald allegedly hit his husband with an unspecified object, leading to an order of protection. 

This past February, Donald was arrested twice for allegedly strangling Jacob in their apartment, which led to a judge setting a $5,000 bail for the influencer.

One month later, prosecutors said that officers responded to the couple’s home to see Jacob with a gash in his forehead. 

Jacob and Donald both reported that Jacob had fallen and hit his head.

On June 14, Donald was arrested for allegedly threatening his husband with a knife.

After threatening him, court records show that Donald said, “I will attack.”

Donald was arrested for violating his order of protection and received a $5,000 bail, despite prosecutors’ request for a $30,000 bail.

After the officers arrived on Friday, Donald acknowledged that he violated his order of protection, which prohibited him from being in Jacob’s vicinity. 

He was charged with first-degree burglary, weapons possession, and aggravated criminal contempt for violating the protection orders.

The judge denied Donald bail as they await to hear back about Jacob’s official cause of death from the medical examiner.
