Nicholas Mitchell Jr. shot his son, Nicholas Mitchell Jr., 4, then shot his ex-girlfriend and son’s mother, Julina Gibson, in the early morning of Nov. 9 before shooting himself. Police responded to find the three lying on the sidewalk in front of 117 E. Emerson St., where Gibson and her son lived with Gibson’s family. Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety officers found a .22-caliber pistol in Mitchell Jr.’s right hand.
