Police in Jackson, Tennessee, released footage showing quadruple murder suspect Austin Drummond — visibly carrying a black rifle — as he attempts to enter doors and roams a resident’s yard in the Pipkin Road area on Sunday night.
Drummond, aged 28, is accused of killing four individuals in Lake County, about an hour away from Jackson, a week prior. The bodies of Adrianna Williams, 20; James Matthew Wilson, 21; Braydon Williams, 15; and Cortney Rose, 38, were discovered in Tiptonville just hours after a 7-month-old girl — the child of Adrianna Williams and Wilson — was found abandoned in a stranger’s yard in neighboring Dyer County.
Adrianna Williams and Braydon Williams were siblings, with Rose being their mother. Officials report that Drummond had been in a relationship with a close relative of the victims.
According to the Jackson Police Department, the surveillance footage of Drummond was recorded in the 700 block of Pipkin Road, prompting them to advise residents to “exercise extra caution as you come and go from your homes.”
Drummond is seen wearing a camouflage hoodie and a brown backpack.
Though investigators initially speculated Drummond might have left Tennessee, Jackson police said on Monday night that they suspected he remained within the Jackson area. SWAT teams conducted a thorough search of the locale.
Authorities have arrested and charged three individuals with aiding the fugitive. All three are from Jackson, and on Friday, officials discovered a truck in Dyer County believed to have been used by Drummond.
Drummond was recently released from prison, where he served time for an aggravated robbery, and he was out of jail on bond for an incident that happened while he was in prison, according to NBC News.
