Two arrests were made in connection with four people found murdered, and a baby abandoned in Tennessee.

On Friday, Tanaka Brown, 29, of Jackson, and on Saturday, Giovonte Thomas, 29, of Jackson, were arrested by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation in connection with the wanted suspect, Austin Robert Drummond, 28, according to WSMV.

WREG reported that the TBI announced on Saturday that Brown is booked 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 in custody at Madison County jail on failure to appear charges, which are not related to the new arrest, will be transferred to the Lake County Jail, where he faces similar charges as Brown.

During TBI’s investigation, they learned that Brown and Thomas allegedly assisted Drummond. How they assisted Drummond is not being released at this time, according to WSMV.

As CrimeOnline previously reported that on Thursday, TBI announced that they are searching for a man in connection with the deaths of four people and an abandoned infant.

A warrant has been issued for Drummond. He’s charged with four counts of first-degree murder, kidnapping, and related charges, 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.
