The suspect, identified as 39-year-old Chad Hickman, had fled before law enforcement arrived.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3><b>Suspect found dead after manhunt<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>Police launched an extensive search for Hickman and warned residents that he was armed and dangerous, urging people not to approach him.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>During the search, investigators discovered a fourth deceased person at another residence, taking the number of victims to five.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>Police later located Hickman&#8217;s vehicle in a wooded area near Whitlock Lake. Hickman and another person were subsequently found dead in the area, according to Michigan State Police.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>Authorities have not disclosed how Hickman or the other person died, and it was not immediately clear whether the additional deceased person found near the vehicle was connected to the shooting.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>The circumstances surrounding the deaths and the relationship, if any, between the victims and the suspect remain under investigation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>\u201cThis situation is heartbreaking for the community and challenging for the investigators involved,\u201d Michigan State Police Lieutenant Ashley Miller said in a statement, according to news agency AP.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>\u201cWe remain committed to conducting a thorough investigation and will provide updates as new information becomes available,\u201d she added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3><b>Police yet to release victims&#8217; identities<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>Police have not released the names, ages or genders of the victims, saying they were waiting to notify their families.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>The shooting occurred in Missaukee County, a largely rural area in northern Michigan. Police asked members of the public to avoid the area while investigators continued working at the different locations involved in the case.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>According to The Guardian, court records show Hickman was in the process of a divorce. The news outlet also reported that he had been sentenced to more than a year in county jail after pleading guilty in 2024 to two misdemeanour charges connected to a 2010 offence.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>Authorities have not indicated whether those previous cases were connected to Friday&#8217;s shooting.<span class=\"id-r-component br\"
