Officers went back to search the residence and found a deceased woman. Further investigation identified the woman and that two of the three men suspected of the homicide, according to the MSP release.
The suspects, identified as a 19-year-old Mount Pleasant man and a 20-year-old Mount Pleasant man were lodged in Isabella County Jail.
Police said this is a closed incident with no threat to the public
