Sumpter Township police are searching for a man wanted in connection with a quadruple homicide that occurred on Saturday in Sumpter.

Sumpter police released information on Sunday morning about the incident in a Facebook post.

Police responded Saturday to a quadruple homicide at a house in the 24000 block of Martinsville Road.

Sumpter officers found two men and two women, all in their 30s, dead of apparent gunshot wounds.

A Crime Scene Response Team from the Michigan State Police Forensic Division was requested and arrived to assist police.

Detectives said they identified 37-year-old Raymond Lee Bailey of Sumpter Township, the ex-boyfriend of one of the women, as a suspect.

Police said they obtained information that he had fled north, possibly heading to the Upper Peninsula.
