The man who Oklahoma City police say killed his wife and their three kids called his father-in-law before he died by suicide, according to ABC affiliate KOCO.

Cassandra Flores, 29, and Hillary, 9, Damaris, 5, and Matias Armendariz, 2, were all shot to death by Flores’ estranged husband, 28-year-old Ruben Armendariz, a police press release said. They were found around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday by a family member. Flores and two of the children were pronounced dead inside the home while Ruben Armendariz and the third child were taken to the hospital where they later died.

Jose Flores, Cassandra’s brother and uncle to the three kids, told the TV station that his father received a phone call from Ruben Armendariz Wednesday night.

“The only time my dad goes out – the only time – he went out with a friend. Ruben called him and said, ‘I messed up,”” Jose Flores said, according to the outlet.
