Pleasant girl and sought tips to help locate him.
Wanted on a murder warrant is Isaiah Gary Gardenhire, also known as "Zeke". Gardenhire is a black male, 40 years of age, 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
"There is an active homicide warrant for his arrest," police said. "If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of Gardenhire please contact 911 or the tip line (at 877-616-4677)."
Gardenhire is on the run in the killing of a Mt. Pleasant child overnight.
A mother told authorities a man had stabbed her daughters just after 3 a.m. at a house in front of Jamestown Apartments on Isabella Road, just south of Broomfield Road.
Initial police and medical responders said there were three patients and police later said that one, the victim of a possible sexual assault before being stabbed, had died.
"Investigators have obtained information on a potential suspect and are actively searching their location," they said. "At this time, there does not appear to be an immediate danger to the public."
The woman said the man was still inside the house when she called 911, but he had left before police arrived.
The man had earlier that morning been picked up at Bradley Trailer Park, police said.
Initial reports said the caller and five children had been inside the house.
"The Michigan State Police Lansing Crime Lab is processing the scene, and this remains an active, ongoing investigation," state police said.
Troopers were assisted by the Isabella County Sheriff's Office, Mount Pleasant Police Department, Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Police Department, Central Michigan University Police Department, and Isabella County Central Dispatch.
Guess he also raped 2 other women this morning and stole their vehicle.
People around here all pissed, as the city didn't send out an emergency alert and saying the perp wasn't a threat.
