‘This loss is immeasurable.’ Co-founder of Tacoma’s Howdy Bagel killed in New Orleans BY KRISTINE SHERREDAND PETER TALBOT UPDATED JANUARY 08, 2024 5:35 PM A memorial in honor of Howdy Bagel co-founder Jake Carter grew at the restaurant entrance, 5421 South Tacoma Way in Tacoma on Sunday, Jan. 7, 2024. Carter was fatally shot in New Orleans on Jan. 5. KRISTINE SHERRED The News Tribune

The co-founder of Tacoma’s beloved Howdy Bagel, 32-year-old Jacob Carter, was killed Friday in a shooting in New Orleans, according to the city’s coroner’s office. He was traveling on vacation with his husband.

The New Orleans Police Department responded at about 1:30 a.m. to calls of an unresponsive male near the intersection of Bourbon Street and Kerlerec Street in the Marigny neighborhood. Few details were immediately available about the incident. According to police, the suspected shooter approached Carter, shot him and fled. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office confirmed Monday that Carter was the victim. Police did not immediately respond to phone calls from The News Tribune, but it appears that no arrests have been made.

In a phone call with The News Tribune Monday morning, Carter’s husband and business partner Daniel Blagovich said they were attacked. “He died in my arms,” he said. Howdy Bagel, which grew from a farmers market sensation in 2021 to a wildly popular brick-and-mortar restaurant at 5421 South Tacoma Way last summer, first announced the death on its Instagram page.

Cheyenne Boone cboonethenewstribune.com “If you knew Jake, you know he was someone who exuded kindness, warmth, and genuine care to everyone he met,” it read. “Jake was one of the brightest spots in the lives of everyone he loved. This loss is immeasurable for our community.”


The storefront has closed temporarily to allow Blagovich time to navigate the situation, the post continued, asking for donations to support the shop’s staff. “Daniel and Jacob have been continually blown away and grateful for the ways that this community has rallied together to support Howdy Bagel. We know that in this difficult season, you will all continue to show up with love and support,” it said. The GoFundMe, organized by Stevi Hamill and Scout McLaughlin, requested $50,000 but within 24 hours had amassed nearly $150,000.

Carter, who was born and raised in Texas, created Howdy Bagel with Blagovich, from West Seattle, after they were both laid off from their jobs during the pandemic. As a proudly queer company that also baked delightful bagels and sandwiches with housemade ingredients, it took off, with fans waiting in line for hours at the Proctor Farmers Market and pop-ups throughout Tacoma and occasionally Seattle.

Another fudge packer achieves room temperature- - - - -when does the party start?

They sure wouldn't hold that against him on Bourbon one end of it is all queer. NO is a dangerous city. I watched local news every morning at work in the gulf. Most nights there were murders and shootings. Some nights multiple shootings. I suspect they hide some of their statistics because they re!y heavily on tourism.

A homocide in New Orleans! I don’t believe it!

Only one of about 200-250?

Loose morals abound.

I wonder if Cheyenne Boone regrets the phrase “Daniel and Jacob have been continually blown away..." in her blog.

I'd bet there's a lot more to the story than simply being a random act. Two gays prowling the French Quarter after midnight raises eyebrows.

Sexual deviants can be violent. If one chooses to jump in the middle of that looney bin, you take your chances.

Breaking news.

Water is wet.

Hit job by the "partner".

I'll bet that wasn't a random shooting ..........

If Carter's "husband" had been a truly "loving husband," he'd have been carrying a pistol to protect his "wife." After all, it is New Orleans and Bourbon Street. Always been known as a dangerous place to wander around in at night.

Something about dogs and fleas.

Sad situation for sure, should have been more aware of his surroundings . Bet his husband had him "wacked off" .Sorry could not help myself. Who the hell is giving them all that money on the "go fund me "? And why? I just don't understand society anymore.... Joe

Deceased guy on the right.

Gayer than AIDS.

It’s been dangerous forever

Nothing but bad happens in NO after dark. Used to go there all the time to Pat O’Brien’s and the Gold Mine and Cat’s Meow. That was in the early ‘90s when my wife and I were dating. Even got married at One Canal Place. Now, no way. I doubt it was anything other than a robbery gone bad. They kill indiscriminately. They don’t need a reason.

Money from stupid white women, a thriving business. Win, uh...lose. You think the "survivor" cares?

I would not be out there at night. No damn way

He's not gay anymore.......
