Police in Jackson, Tennessee, arrested quadruple murder suspect Austin Drummond on Tuesday morning following a lockdown alert for local residents.

The Jackson Police Department reported that officers have detained Drummond after advising residents in two city areas to stay indoors. Earlier, police had distributed surveillance footage showing Drummond, armed with a rifle, approaching a local church.

Authorities confirmed Drummond was spotted on Sunday night along Jackson’s 700 block of Pipkin Road and cautioned that he is “armed and dangerous.” Stephanie Graham, the Public Information Officer for the Jackson Police Department, informed Fox News Digital that these sightings, which were caught on security cameras, took place at a local church.

The victims, identified as James M. Wilson, 21, Adrianna Williams, 20, Cortney Rose, 38, and Braydon Williams, 15, were found in Tiptonville on Tuesday. An infant related to all four victims was discovered on the lawn of a random house on July 29, according to officials.

Drummong is facing four counts of first-degree murder, one count of aggravated kidnapping and weapons offenses.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has so far arrested three individuals that they described as “associates” of Drummond.
