“He lived just a couple blocks away, but I don’t think (his parents) saw him a lot,” Phillip said. “Jean would try to talk to him, but she said he was never the same after he got out of prison.”

On Wednesday, a woman who came out of the Daltons’ home said the family is “still grieving and trying to deal with what happened.” She also said that more family members are coming into town.

A First Responders Prayer Walk has been scheduled for 5:15 p.m. today outside the family’s home at 3912 N. 37th St..

The Omaha Public Schools put out a statement after the news of Dalton-Phillip’s death.

“We extend our deepest, heartfelt sympathy to the family,” it said. Counselors were available at Burke High on Wednesday afternoon, the district said.

In the 1998 killing of his 22-year-old wife, Dalton initially faced a second-degree murder charge but later pleaded guilty to manslaughter. The couple had been married about five years.

The couple’s three daughters, who were 6, 5 and 3 at the time, were at their home at 3489 Ruggles St.. They heard, but did not see, the shooting.
