SUMPTER TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Police say a man wanted in the shooting deaths of two women and two men turned himself in on Sunday. All the victims were in their 30s. 

The shooting happened on Saturday in Wayne County, southeast of Detroit.

Officers found the four victims dead of apparent gunshot wounds at a home in the 24000 block of Martinsville Road, according to the Sumpter Township Police Department. 

Crews on the scene called a crime scene response team from the Michigan State Police Department to assist in the investigation. 

Detectives identified 37-year-old Raymond Lee Bailey, of Sumpter Township, as the suspect. He is the ex-boyfriend of one of the victims, according to police.

Police say investigators learned Bailey had fled north, possibly heading to the Upper Peninsula. 

On Sunday, just after 10 p.m. the Sumpter Township Police Department announced that Bailey had turned himself into the Bay County Sheriff's Office and that he would be transferred to their custody.

Investigators learned Bailey had confessed to the killings of several people through phone and texts, according to police. 

Police began tracking Bailey as he ran north and located his car abandoned near Bay City, a city located near the base of the Saginaw Bay on Lake Huron. 

Anyone with information on the shootings is asked to call the detective bureau at 734-461-4833, option 4.
