The police found Stokes sitting outside the house when they arrived. According to the report, he was quick to let them know what he did.

During the search of the home, authorities discovered a 12-gauge Mossberg shotgun in one of the bedrooms, as well as a box of 25 shells that had 12 unused shells left, according to a report.

At his sentencing hearing, Stokes revealed that he had "blood on my mind" when he woke up, adding that he had no idea what possessed him to kill his family.

Earlier this year, Stokes entered a plea of guilty to five counts of first-degree reckless homicide and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon in the case.
