LACEY, Okla. — Police have identified a suspect in the weekend slayings of four people at anmarijuana farm but said Tuesday they aren’t releasing a name because doing so could put more people in danger.

A fifth victim who was wounded and who is also a Chinese citizen was taken to an Oklahoma City hospital.Authorities have a suspect in mind, but the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is withholding the name for now to avoid endangering others.
OSBI Capt. Stan Florence said the previous day that authorities believe the suspect knew the victims, who“They all know each other,” Florence said. “Don’t know if they’re related, or if they’re coworkers, but certainly these individuals were, we believe, all familiar with each other.” Authorities have not identified the victims or said how they died. The case is being investigated as a quadruple homicide.The Kingfisher County Sheriff’s Office initially responded to a reported hostage situation at the farm and requested help from state authorities, Florence said.
Police searched the property late Sunday and Monday, using drones and helicopters and on the ground, but did not find the suspect, Florence said.Porsha Riley, spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority, said there is an active license for a medical marijuana grow business at the location.
