A man is facing murder charges after three of his family members were found dead inside a Michigan home, officials said.

EATON COUNTY, MI – The Eaton County Sheriff’s Office arrested a triple murder suspect Saturday morning. The murders occurred Friday night, Sept. 24, in Windsor Township, southwest of Lansing. Police searched for the suspect overnight, saying he was believed to be armed and dangerous and heading to the Upper Peninsula. Shortly before 7 a.m., the Eaton County Sheriff’s Office said the suspect was in custody. Prosecutors have yet to issue charges against the suspect.

Police say at about 6:47 a.m. on that day, Sean Ruis, 43, of Grand Ledge, entered the convenience store in Dimondale without wearing a mask. Ruis was also reportedly denied service for his failure to comply with face mask requirements, police said. Police say Ruis was fleeing the scene of the stabbing in Dimondale and was located by an Eaton County deputy about 30 minutes later in Delta Township. The Eaton County deputy was not injured during the altercation. “It’s very unfortunate she had to use her weapon, but she had to save her life,” Eaton County Sheriff Tom Reich said.
