As officers arrived, a pit bull at the home charged at and attacked a police K9. In an attempt to stop the attack and prevent further injury, an officer shot and killed the pit bull.
Once inside the home, officers were unable to locate Jacobson, police said.
Officers then learned that Jacobson may have fled in a car that was later reported stolen by one of his family members.
Soon after, California Highway Patrol officers in Stanislaus County alerted Concord police about a collision involving the stolen car.
Jacobson was found to be driving the car and he was taken to a hospital with injuries he sustained during the collision, which were not considered life-threatening, according to police.
After arriving at the hospital, Concord officers were able to detain him.
On Wednesday, the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office charged Jacobson with first-degree murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Jacobson has been released from the hospital and was taken to the Contra Costa County jail where he is being held on $2 million bail, police said.
