Summary
Michigan State Police said six people died across three northern lower Michigan locations, and a 13-year-old girl shot at the first home was upgraded from critical to stable condition.
Three victims — a 45-year-old man, 40-year-old woman and 16-year-old boy — were found dead at a Lake Township home after troopers responded around 11:40 a.m. Friday to a shooting report.
Investigators said suspect Chad Hickman, 39, fled before troopers arrived; during the search, police found a 53-year-old man dead at a second Missaukee County home.
Hickman’s vehicle was later located near Whitlock Lake in Caldwell Township, where officers found Hickman and a 29-year-old woman dead in a wooded area.
Several surrounding agencies and K-9 units joined the search as state police continue investigating what Lt. Ashley Miller called a heartbreaking case for the community.
