<p>Alleged murder suspect Austin Drummond is in police custody following a six-day manhunt, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) <a href="https://x.com/TBInvestigation/status/1952736468973089085">announced</a> on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Drummond, 28, was caught in Jackson, Tennessee, the TBI said on social media. The agency released a photo of Drummond shortly after his capture and said it would provide more details &#8220;soon.&#8221;</p>

<p>— Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (@TBInvestigation) <a href="https://twitter.com/TBInvestigation/status/1952737732163174894?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 5, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p>At a press conference Tuesday afternoon, District Attorney Danny Goodman said the real work begins now that Drummond has been arrested.</p>
<p>&#8220;Investigations do not end when a person is arrested,&#8221; Goodman said. &#8220;We want [the families of the victims] to know that we are going to do everything we can to seek justice in this matter.&#8221;</p>
<p>Goodman called the cooperation between federal agencies &#8220;impressive.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think I have every seen so many agencies work together and work in sync,&#8221; Goodman said. &#8220;It has been, what I would think, should be a blueprint for the entire county on how to run an operation.&#8221;</p>
<p>Drummond was wanted on four counts of first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping, and various firearm charges, <a href="https://tbinewsroom.com/2025/07/31/suspect-wanted-in-deaths-of-4-people-in-lake-county/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to a TBI press release. The suspect was spotted near a local church on Sunday, as surveillance footage showed him trying to enter locked doors while carrying a rifle, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/tennessee-quadruple-murder-suspect-spotted-wielding-rifle-police-release-new-surveillance-videos">reported</a>.</p>
<p>TBI Director David Rausch said authorities have found multiple weapons but did not say what the weapons were. Drummond was not armed when he was arrested, according to Jackson Police Chief Thom Corley.</p>
<p>Police located Drummond&#8217;s car in Jackson last Friday and focused the search on the area.</p>
<p>The TBI also arrested two men and one woman in connection with the quadruple murder. All three have been charged with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder. One man was also charged with tampering with evidence, <a href="https://tbinewsroom.com/2025/08/04/third-person-charged-in-connection-to-tiptonville-quadruple-murder/">according</a> to a TBI press release.</p>
<p>The four victims found dead last week were relatives of a baby girl who was discovered abandoned in a &#8220;random&#8221; yard in Dyer County last Tuesday, The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-baby-was-abandoned-in-a-random-yard-her-family-was-found-dead-and-a-suspect-is-on-the-loose?author=Catherine+Maxwell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=0&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=A+Baby+Was+Abandoned+In+A+Random+Yard.+Her+Family+Was+Found+Dead%2C+And+A+Suspect+Is+On+The+Loose.">reported</a>. Authorities began searching for the baby&#8217;s family to question them about the child. A few hours after the baby was found, police found the bodies of her family in a wooded area of Lake County, the county to the north of Dyer.</p>
<p>The deceased were identified as the baby’s mother, Adrianna Williams, 20; father, James Wilson, 21; grandmother, Cortney Rose, 38; and uncle, Braydon Williams, 15.</p>
<p>Rausch said Drummond&#8217;s girlfriend is the sister of two victims and the daughter of one of the victims but gave no names. He said he could not comment on a suspected motive for the murders.</p>
<p>Drummond was convicted of armed robbery in 2014 in Madison County, NBC News <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/relative-4-found-dead-tennessee-says-family-trusted-murder-suspect-run-rcna222379" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. His prison sentence ended in September 2024. Two months later, he was charged with attempted murder and drug crimes. Drummond was out on bond at the time of the killings. Rausch said those prior charges would be taken into consideration as the justice process moves forward.</p>
<p>Drummond has been transported to an unspecified facility.</p>
<p>The baby is healthy and doing well, Dyer County Sheriff Jeff Box said.</p>
<p>U.S. Marshal for the Western District of Tennessee Tyreece Miller said reported sightings of Drummond helped lead to the arrest.</p>
<p>&#8220;Tonight, families in West Tennessee can sleep more soundly. Austin Drummond is once again behind bars,&#8221; Miller said. &#8220;He thought he could outrun us, but he was wrong.&#8221;</p>
