Could Danyna Gibson’s murder have been prevented? 

During a press conference following the stabbing, Detroit, Warren Police Commissioner William Dwyer noted both girls being straight A students.

‘It’s truly a tragedy. Two lives are ruined,’ Dwyer said, adding that the girls were good students who had not been in trouble before. ‘This is truly a tragedy on both sides.’

Speaking to Fox Detroit’s Erika Erickson, one friend called Gibson ‘the smartest and brightest.’ While saying of the suspect the same person said, ‘I never, ever expected this from her.’

Warren Mayor Jim Fouts wrote on Facebook that Lewis and Gibson ‘were honor society students and good friends.’

It was also revealed that Lewis had hours before her stabbing rampage told of her intentions on Facebook.

Noted Fouts, ‘Someone on social media may have seen this and could have prevented this had they told someone. I hope an effort will be made at Fitzgerald HS and other schools to encourage young people to say something if they have knowledge of a potential dangerous conflict.’
