When officers entered the house, they found the woman, who was not identified, suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

After shooting her friend, MichaeI then shot at the 60-year-old grandmother.

He then shot at the 17-year-old girl through the bathroom door. When the girl attempted to leave the home, he shot her in the leg. During an interview with investigators, the 42-year-old suspect reportedly admitted to to writing a letter to the 17-year-old girl insisting that she enter into a relationship with him and not date anyone else.
