MACON - After her son&#39;s murder in 1994, 47-year-old Brenda Jacobs used drugs and alcohol for nearly eight years to drown her grief. <br> <br> Now she is vowing the violent death of her daughter, less than two weeks ago, won&#39;t end her newfound sobriety. <br> <br> Jacobs&#39; daughter, Felicia Lucas, was run over by a car and shot five times in the front yard of her home in Macon. She died two days later. <br> <br> Police have charged Lucas&#39; estranged boyfriend, Garey Bernard Kinder, with murder. Family members say the 26-year-old Lucas and the 30-year-old Kinder had an on-and-off relationship for about 12 years that was sometimes violent. <br> <br> According to police reports, Kinder, the father of three of Lucas&#39; four children, pleaded guilty to simple battery-family violence charges in 2001 and was sentenced to 12 months probation. <br> <br> In 1994, Jacobs&#39; son, Charles Fountain, was killed three days before his 23rd birthday. He suffered a gunshot wound to the face and died January eighth, also in Macon. <br> <br> Jacobs is finding help at the Alpha House, a counseling center for recovering addicts near Mercer University.
