This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

The Central Michigan University shooting suspect has been identified as James Eric Davis, Jr., according to authorities.

Davis allegedly fired shots on campus at Campbell Hall, a dorm on campus on Friday and killed two people, who are not students. The university advised students to "shelter in place" after 9 a.m. local time while police searched for the suspect. Police are still on the lookout for Davis.

The suspected shooter is identified as a black male, approximately 19 years of age, 5'10" and 135 lbs. Authorities have not yet confirmed him to be a student of the university.

Police described the incident as a "family dispute," and no students or faculty members were injured during the shooting. On Thursday night, Davis was taken to the hospital for a "drug-related incident."

"It could have been an overdose or bad reaction to drugs and at that point was released to the hospital staff," said Public information officer Jeff Brown.

Authorities have said Davis ran from the northbound direction from the campus towers complex toward the railroad tracks. He is believed to be within city limits.

The Mt. Pleasant Public Safety Office released a statement to local news outlets, identifying the shooter as a teenage black male wearing yellow jeans and wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt. During a press conference, police have said he could be wearing different clothes.

"He was wearing a dark hoodie, but it is unknown what clothing he is wearing now as different articles of clothing on the railroad grid," said Lieutenant Larry Klaus of the Central Michigan University Police Department.

Brown asked residents nearby to contact police if they found the suspect who is still believed to be armed and dangerous.

"Do not approach the suspect," he said. "Call 911."
