Police in Sumner County, Tennessee, have located a person of interest in connection to the death of five people found in two separate homes on Saturday night.
Officials with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) reported to a home on Charles Brown Road where four people were found dead and a fifth victim was found in another residence on Luvy Daniels Road.
The victims were not identified.
Police said hours after a manhunt was launched that 25-year-old Michael Cummins has been taken into custody as a person of interest. He is not being called a suspect at this time and yet to be charged with any crime, authorities said.
The TBI tweeted simply, “UPDATE: Michael Cummins is in custody” at 11:01 p.m. They provided no further details of how he was taken into custody.
Earlier in the night they had warned he may be armed.
“He may be in the woods in the area near the scene and may be armed. If you spot him, call 911 immediately,” according to TBI’s Twitter account.
At this point there is no relationship between Cummins and the victims, but the investigation is still ongoing, said Josh DeVine, the communications director for TBI, at a brief press conference on Saturday.
