Police have captured quadruple murder suspect Austin Drummond.

According to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, police found Drummond in Jackson, Tennessee, Tuesday morning, hours after being spotted with a rifle on security footage.

“We’ll provide more details soon, but a hearty thanks to the public for staying vigilant these past few days,” TBI announced Tuesday.

As CrimeOnline previously reported, Drummond has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder, kidnapping, and related charges, according to a TBI news release.

The charges came after police discovered four bodies on July 29, along Carrington Road in Tiptonville.

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.

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.

Wilson and Adrianna Williams were the baby’s parents, Rose was Williams’ mother, and the teen was Williams’ brother.

Dyer County deputies identified the child and announced they were looking for the parents and Rose. Hours later came the discovery of the bodies, and an arrest warrant for Drummond.
