HAUNTING security footage shows armed murder suspect Austin Drummond stalking a neighborhood and trying to get into buildings.
Drummond is currently sought after as part of an investigation related to the deaths of four family members. Their remains were discovered just hours after a baby girl was found left behind on a driveway.
He was named a suspect just one day after the victims were identified.
The search for Drummond has been ongoing since July 31 and Jackson, Tennessee, cops have released footage of him stalking a neighborhood.
In the footage from August 3, Drummond is armed with a rifle, sporting camouflaged gear, and wearing an orange backpack.
In one clip, he’s seen trying the door handle of the Cornerstone Community Church in Jackson.
Cops found a white 2016 Audi Drummond was believed to have been driving in the Jackson area.
Jackson is around 45 miles from Tigrett – an area in Dyer County where the baby was found abandoned.
A 1988 Ford pickup truck investigators were looking for was found in Dyer County.
In another video released by cops, Drummond was seen in an area, which looked to be at the back of a building.
He comes into shot and appears to make a hand gesture.
John Muffler, a former US Marshal, analyzed the videos and told NewsNation that it’s possible someone may have been helping Drummond.
Drummond is an alleged member of The Vice Lords – one of the oldest street gangs in Chicago.
A white car can be seen in the background of one of the videos.
In the footage, Drummond was also seen stalking driveways and loitering near a children’s playground.
Tennessee investigators have arrested three people as part of their probe.
Tanaka Brown and Giovontie Thomas have been both charged with accessory after the fact to first degree murder.
Dearrah Sanders has now been accused of helping Drummond.
It’s not known how Sanders allegedly helped Drummond.
As the search for Drummond ramps up, law enforcement combed a woodland area near Union University in Jackson.
A helicopter circled overhead and law enforcement teams present at the scene were state troopers and SWAT officials.
A school, located one mile away from the campus, was put on lockdown, as reported by CNN.
But, no children were inside the building as term doesn’t start until Thursday.

Jackson cops also release footage of Drummond, carrying a rifle and wearing camouflaged gear, trying to get into buildings and stalking driveways.
The victims of the quadruple homicide were identified as parents Adrianna Williams, 20, and Matthew Wilson, 21.
They were the parents of the baby that was found abandoned on the driveway.
The baby’s grandma, Cortney Rose, 38, and its uncle Braydon Williams, 15, were also killed.
The bodies were found in Tiptonville – around 40 miles from Tigrett.
Investigators believe the attack was targeted and investigators revealed Drummond dated a relative of one of the victims.
Just 10 months before the slayings, Drummond was released from prison having served a sentence for armed robbery.
While behind bars he shared photos of his cushy lifestyle.
He boasted about receiving takeaway pizzas and his room contained game consoles and a television.
In pictures, he was wearing prison overalls and seen with cell phones in his hands.
He was out on bail after being charged with attempted murder for an incident that happened while behind bars.
US Marshals have since admitted that it’s possible Drummond may have left Tennessee.
The reward for Drummond’s arrest has now reached $30,000.
