A Tennessee man suspected of murdring four family members has been arrested after almost a week on the run.  Austin Robert Drummond, 28, is alleged to have murdred Adrianna Williams, 20; Matthew Wilson, 21; Cortney Rose, 38; and Braydon Williams, 15, in Tiptonville, Tennessee last Friday.   Drummond had also left Wilson and Williams’ baby girl on a random nearby front porch after the murders.  After spending five days at large and sparking a massive manhunt from law enforcement, Drummond was captured Tuesday morning.  Before his arrest, Drummond was last spotted on Sunday night in the city of Jackson, around 70 miles from the murders, wearing camouflage and armed with a rifle.  Officials shared surveillance footage of the alleged quadruple murdrer in the footage as they warned locals to ‘exercise extreme caution’ until the ‘armed and dangerous’ suspect is caught.   Investigators have not said what motivated Drummond to allegedly murdr the family members, but have said that he is believed to have previously dated a relative of Williams.  Drummond was released from a 13-year prison sentence for armed robbery in September 2024.  Cops warned that Drummond may have altered his appearance while on the run, and the image released from his capture showed that he shaved a goatee that he wore in his last mugshot.  The horror episode unfolded after police were first alerted to Wilson and Williams’ baby girl left in a car seat on a ‘random individual’s front yard’ in Tigrett, Tennessee.  A local said they saw a white vehicle had pulled into the yard, dropped off the child and sped away, triggering an urgent search for her family.   Law enforcement said in an initial social media post that they were trying to locate Rose, Williams, and Wilson, believing they could be suspects in abandoning the infant.  But during the search, cops made a second, far more chilling discovery around 40 miles away in a wooded area in Tiptonville, Tennessee.   The four family members were found dead with gunshot wounds, and Drummond was announced as the prime suspect two days later on July 31.  In the week that Drummond was a fugitive, cops arrested three people in connection with the murders, including Dearrah Sanders, 23, who allegedly ‘assisted’ the killer.  Tanaka Brown, 29, and Giovonte Thomas, 29, were also arrested during the manhunt, and all three are facing charges of accessory after the fact to first-degree murdr.  Authorities have not yet detailed how the three individuals allegedly helped Drummond.  Drummond was wanted on charges of first-degree murdr, kidn@pping and unlawful firearm possession, and officials were offering rewards upwards of $30,000 for information leading to his arrest. The post Murdr suspect finally captured after ‘k!lling four family members after almost a week on the run. appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
