The boy was identified as Jordyn D. Wade, reported The Columbus Dispatch.

Wade was reportedly arrested and charged with five counts of kidnapping as well as four delinquency counts of murder. The boy was taken into custody without incident, according to authorities.

At the South Linden home early Saturday morning, police said they arrived and found a bleeding woman on the sidewalk. The woman had a gunshot wound. They later found the four dead bodies after going inside the house.

Police discovered the shooting Saturday morning after responding to a report of the bloodied woman on the sidewalk. The woman turned out to be a teenage girl who was injured outside the house located on East Hudson Street, northeast of downtown Columbus.

The injured girl has still not been identified. She was taken to a hospital and treated for her injuries. She has already been released, according to reports.

The four victims were later identified by authorities as 41-year-old Michael Ballour, 36-year-old Daniel Sharp, 35-year-old Angela D. Harrison, and 18-year-old Tyajah Nelson

Fox News reported that autopsies on the four victims were scheduled to be finished Monday.

As of the moment, the police have not yet identified a possible motive for the Ohio home shooting.

There are also no details as to why the kidnapping charges have been filed either, according to CNN.

Investigators, however, reportedly have an idea what the reason is for the kidnapping charges, according to Sgt. David Sicilian of the Columbus Police Department's homicide unit as told to the Dispatch.

Meanwhile, the second suspect has remained unidentified by the police. 

A neighbor of the four people killed in the Ohio home said in an interview with Dispatch that at around two hours prior to the discovery of the bodies in the house Saturday morning, he has seen two people, a man and a woman, running away from the Ohio home.
