'Her husband basically called her and said that he murdered her,' Cannonier said of the call to Kim's mom. 'And that he was sorry.'Greg Mabins was pronounced dead while en route to the hospital.
According to MyFoxDetroit, friends said Greg Mabins had been both verbally and verbally abuse in the years leading up to the murder.
'I never thought it would come to this,' said Kim's Chaka Johnson. 'It was a shock when I got the call.'
Friends say the 17-year-old's graduation was part what seemed to them like a turnaround for Kim.
She'd been saving money for an extended stay in Florida, where Cannonier lives and to give her son a graduation party.
'These next two weeks were the most important two weeks to her,' Cannonier told MyFoxDetroit. 'She wanted to see her son graduate.'
Johnson concurred.
'She talked about her son's prom coming up,' he said. 'And graduation. She just had all smiles on her face. When she left I gave her a hug and said "I'll see you Saturday."'
This is so sad. She was trying to wait until her son graduated, she waited too late. Sometimes you can't wait sometimes, you just have to go. I don't see how they wondered if the signs were always there, if in the years leading up to it he was verbally and physically abusive
I feel like any man than can be like that, treat you like that has no problems killing you if pushed. I feel for her son. Sick dude called her mom to apologize...Makes no sense.
- Greg Mabins, 58, shot his wife Kim Landrum Mabins, 45, in the back after sending their 17-year-old son off to his Detroit high school prom
- Mabins then called his mother-in-law and told her what he'd done before turning the gun on himself on Thursday
- He died en route to the hospital and now family friends wonder if he'd shown warning signs all along
