A Michigan State Department statement Monday said prosecutors are pending a 37-year-old man in the shooting death of his ex-girlfriend, her sister and two brothers who were cousins of the women.
Police in Sumpter Township went to an address Saturday and found the victims dead from injuries.
Raymond Lee Bailey, of Sumpter Township, was briefly named a suspect.
“Detectives were made aware that he had known all of them by phone and texts on the murder with multiple people,” police said.

“I thought someone was on the hunt because people were hunting here,” said a neighbor who heard the shots, reporting the station. “And I thought ‘wow, just shoot, shoot, shoot …'”
Bailey was arrested for abusing Tanner last year, but the prosecutor was fired in November after the prosecutor told the judge he had “some problems with the gun” involved in the incident, Detroit News reported Monday.
He also faced a charge of domestic violence, but that was dismissed in January, according to the paper.

Tanner had received an order banning Bailey from contacting her, but it expired on May 1, the paper reported.
