“I simply have no words for this act of evil and what it has done to our community,” Muscatine police chief Anthony Kies said on Monday at a press conference.

According to police, in the series of killings the victims died across two houses and one business location, and the case is being treated as domestic violence, ABC reported.

The shooting was reported at around 12:12 p.m. local time on Monday, and the first responding units found four victims dead inside one home.

The suspect, 52-year-old Ryan Willis McFarland, left the house before police arrived and was later located on a trail along the Mississippi River.

“While police were speaking with Ryan Willis McFarland, he took his own life. Police and personnel provided all possible assistance, but could only confirm his death,” Kies said.

 

During the investigation, detectives learned that there may have been additional victims and subsequently discovered two more men who had been killed, authorities said.

One was found inside a house, while the other was located in a nearby business property.

“Preliminary findings indicate that the shooting stemmed from a family dispute. All victims are believed to be members of the suspect’s family,” the police department said.

The police chief said that the suspect had a prior criminal record, but did not provide further details, nor information about the victims.

The investigation is still ongoing.
