Police believe those four were killed by a fifth man, who killed himself soon after setting the fire that consumed the building.

The bodies found following the Aug. 29 blaze belonged to Milford Battison, 37, Richard Driskill, 35, Miguel Ferreyra, 31, Jared Prudhomme, 26, and their caretaker, James Jennex, who was 50.

Jennex was the facility’s administrator and was licensed to care for up to four adults with developmental disabilities, state records confirm.

Police have not identified which of the men was the killer and have yet to provide a motive for the shootings.

The Renee Jennex Small Family Home was licensed in 2003, according to records. The home passed its most recent inspection, which was conducted nearly a year ago.

A police statement says evidence recovered from the scene indicates the fire was an act of arson.

Detectives say their investigative efforts have been hampered by the sheer devastation caused by the fire, which consumed critical evidence, including patient records.
