A Washington bagel shop owner was shot while vacationing in New Orleans on Friday.
Jacob Carter, co-owner of a popular Tacoma eatery Howdy Bagel, was gunned down at about 1:30 a.m. Friday at the intersection of Bourbon and Kerlerec streets in the Marigny neighborhood, The Tacoma News Tribune reported.
The eatery has marked their establishment as temporary closed on social media site as Daniel Blagovich, Carter’s husband, and the staff take time off to grieve.
A GoFundMe page was created by Stevi Hamill and Scout McLaughlin to honor Carter’s life.
“If you knew Jake, you know he was someone who exuded kindness, warmth, and genuine care to everyone he met,” the Howdy Bagel wrote in an Instagram post. “Jake was one of the brightest spots in the lives of everyone he loved. This loss is immeasurable for our community.”
“In an effort to support Daniel and the whole Howdy crew, we are asking that you consider supporting Howdy in two ways. First, take care of one another,” the post on the page reads. “Showing up with care for one another as we grieve is a way we can honor the love that Jacob put into this world.”
The organizers asked all donators to help with the cost of the rent and operating expenses for the shop.
“Second, to give Daniel space to grieve without having to worry about the logistics of running a business, we ask that you consider donating to help cover some of the shop costs and employee wages in this difficult season,” the post continues.
The page has since raised more than $219,000 at the time of this publication.
