Missaukee County shooting spree

Overview

A series of shootings occurred in Missaukee County, Michigan, resulting in the deaths of six people, including the suspect, 39-year-old Chad Hickman. The violence took place across multiple locations, including residences in Lake Township and a wooded area near Whitlock Lake.

Initial reports identified victims including a 41-year-old woman, Amanda Everitt, and her 16-year-old son, Eric. A 13-year-old girl survived being shot four times and was reported to have moved from critical to stable condition. Following a manhunt, authorities located a fourth victim at a second residence and later discovered the bodies of Hickman and a 29-year-old woman in a wooded area.

Subsequent details revealed that Hickman had a 2024 conviction for misdemeanor fourth-degree child abuse and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Hickman’s ex-wife, Katie Frai, criticized local prosecutors and a judge for allowing him to remain free despite his history of alleged abuse and threats. The Michigan State Police continue to investigate the motive behind the shootings.
