Police released the ages and genders of the victims on Saturday but did not specify whether they were related to each other or the suspect.<\/p>\n<p>Officers responded Friday morning to reports of a shooting at a home about 170 miles (270 kilometers) northwest of Detroit, where they found the bodies of a 16-year-old boy, a 45-year-old man and 40-year-old woman, and a 13-year-old girl in critical condition, Michigan State Police said.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities say Hickman fled that scene, leading to a large-scale search. Police found the body of a 53-year-old man at a second home, and then a 29-year-old woman, dead alongside Hickman, in the woods. All the victims died of gunshot wounds, police said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis situation is heartbreaking for the community and challenging for the investigators involved,\u201d Lt. Ashley Miller said in a Friday statement. Miller said Saturday the investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>Hickman was convicted in 2024 of misdemeanor fourth-degree child abuse, according to court records. He was sentenced to one year in jail. In the same case, the court dismissed felony assault and criminal sexual conduct charges.<\/p>\n<p>                        <a name=\"pagebreak\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Gov.
