The fitness model who was found fatally stabbed on the toilet in his apartment called his dad to say that his husband, also a model, was 'coming after him,' according to Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

This additional insight into the moments before the August 1 death of Jacob Zieben-Hood, 34, comes as District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced that his husband, Donald Zieben-Hood, has been indicted with a slew of crimes that occurred prior to the slaying.

Donald Zieben-Hood, the 40-year-old Instagram model, has not been charged with murder, though prosecutors allege that he spent months terrorizing Jacob by breaking into his Harlem apartment on multiple occasions to assault him.

Even though authorities have not announced a suspect in Jacob's killing, the death is being investigated as a homicide. The autopsy has not been completed by the New York City Medical Examiner's Office.

According to Bragg, Jacob called his father on July 31 to tell him that Donald was beating him and cutting him with a knife. 

Throughout that night, he texted pictures of his injuries, which included small cuts to his face and head and a 'large bleeding gash' in the back of his leg.

At 4am on August 1, Donald called the police and told them he found Jacob dead on the toilet. He was arrested at the scene and has been held at Riker's Island without bail ever since.

Prosecutors said police found Jacob 'dead in the bathroom, slumped over on the toilet with cuts and stab wounds to the back of his leg and a head wound'.

Additionally, the apartment 'had items strewn about with blood on the furniture, walls, floor, and counters'.

Bragg said Wednesday that Donald allegedly 'escalated his threatening conduct towards his husband in multiple acts of intimate partner violence over the course of a year'.

Donald has pleaded not guilty to all 16 charges, which include two counts of burglary in the first degree; two counts of burglary in the second degree; one count of assault in the second degree; two counts of aggravated criminal contempt; eight counts of criminal contempt in the first degree; and one count of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree.

On February 25, Donald was arrested after an alleged attack on his husband inside the same apartment.

Jacob 'almost lost consciousness, and sustained swelling, substantial pain, and redness to his neck' from the beating, according to the charging documents seen by NBC News.

Prosecutors said that Donald was in violation of an order of protection that had been granted to Jacob in November 2024.

Police entered the apartment after Jacob called 911, and he was granted another protection order from Donald at his home and his office.

On June 14, Donald was arrested yet again after he showed up at Jacob's home to threaten him with a knife, according to police. Donald was hit with a third protection order.

In the aftermath of the fatal attack in August, which authorities believe was committed by Donald, people who used to have close ties with Jacob revealed his relationship caused him to 'vanish' from their lives for years.

'I had no contact with him, and I just wanted him to be happy, and that’s all I really cared about. And I was hoping that he was,' Jacob Paulson told NBC News. 

Paulson and Jacob became best friends in 2013. But after two years of being inseparable, Jacob started dating Donald and began to withdraw from the friendship.

Another old friend, Joshua Baker, said his relationship with Jacob took a turn for the worse once he got together with Donald in 2015.

Jacob started ghosting him - ignoring invitations and phone calls, Baker said. At one point, Jacob had even started blocking his former friends.
