"She wanted him to leave, but she didn't know how to tell him,'' Thomas told AL.com. "From what I understand, he was jealous and controlling."

The children were not home at the time of the shooting.

Lipscomb had recently started working as a security guard at an airport in the months before her killing, according to AL.com. Family members described her as bubbly and outgoing.
