Two arrests were made in connection with four people found murdered, and a baby abandoned in Tennessee.
On Friday, Tanaka Brown, 29, from Jackson, and on Saturday, Giovonte Thomas, 29, also from Jackson, were arrested by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation in connection to the wanted suspect, Austin Robert Drummond, 28, as reported by WSMV.
According to WREG, the TBI announced on Saturday that Brown is detained at the Lake County Jail without bond on charges of accessory after the fact to 1st degree murder and tampering with evidence.
Thomas, who is already imprisoned at Madison County Jail for unrelated failure to appear charges, will be moved to the Lake County Jail, where he faces charges akin to Brown’s.
The TBI’s investigation uncovered that Brown and Thomas allegedly supported Drummond. The specifics of their assistance remain undisclosed at this time, as per WSMV.
As reported by CrimeOnline earlier, on Thursday, TBI announced their search for a man linked to the deaths of four individuals and an abandoned baby.
A warrant is out for Drummond’s arrest. He faces charges of four counts of first-degree murder, kidnapping, and related offenses, according to a TBI news release.
TBI identified the victims of the homicide as 15-year-old Braydon Williams, 21-year-old James Matthew Wilson, 20-year-old Adrianna Williams, and 38-year-old Cortney Rose.
Police found their bodies along Carrington Road in Tiptonville on July 29.
Investigators said the victims were related to a 7-month-old girl found in a car seat in a front yard in Tigrett earlier in the day.
According to Facebook posts, Wilson and Adrianna Williams are the baby’s parents, Rose is Williams’ mother, and the teen is Williams’ brother.
“At this time, Drummond remains at large and should be considered armed and dangerous,” the TBI said.
Anyone with information concerning Drummond or his whereabouts is encouraged to call 731-415-7962, 731-333-0811, or 1-800-TBI-FIND.
