Man accused of killing 4 family members, leaving infant abandoned in Tennessee captured
Police in Tennessee said on Tuesday that the man wanted in the killings of the parents, grandmother and uncle of an infant found alone has been arrested.
It came shortly after police warned residents to stay inside their homes, having received a report that the man was spotted in a neighborhood.
Authorities said Austin Robert Drummond was in custody amid a search.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation already charged Tanaka Brown, 29, and Giovonte Thomas, 29, with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder.
Investigators allege both men “assisted” Drummond, 28, in the killings.
Authorities have identified the four people found dead in Tiptonville as James M. Wilson, 21; Adrianna Williams, 20; Cortney Rose, 38; and Braydon Williams, 15.
Wilson and Adrianna Williams were the parents of the infant who was found abandoned. Rose was Adrianna and Braydon Williams’ mother.
