Austin Robert Drummond, 28, has been charged in the murders of the parents, grandmother, and uncle of an infant found abandoned but alive.

Police in Jackson, Tennessee, have taken murder suspect Austin Robert Drummond into custody after a multiple-day manhunt.

Drummond, 28, was wanted in the murders of the parents, grandmother, and uncle of an infant found abandoned but alive in Tennesseeโ€™s Dyer County this past week.

In an update on Tuesday morning, the Dyer County Police Department confirmed Drummondโ€™s capture. The department made the announcement on its official Facebook page, thanking law enforcement partners for their efforts.

โ€œThis would not have been achieved without the tireless work and dedication of our local, state, and federal partners,โ€ Sheriff Jeff Box of Dyer County said. โ€œAlso, our citizens have been extremely helpful and cooperative.โ€

โ€œOur focus now shifts to honoring the lives lost and providing support to their grieving families,โ€ he said, asking the public and the media to respect the familiesโ€™ privacy.

Earlier, the department had posted a reward totaling $32,500 for information leading to Drummondโ€™s arrest. This sum included contributions from the Tennessee Governorโ€™s Office, the U.S. Marshals Service, and other law enforcement agencies. The department did not say whether the reward had been claimed.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, which is leading the case, confirmed Drummondโ€™s arrest in a separate Facebook post. The Bureau expressed gratitude to the public for its vigilance during the manhunt and promised that more information would be released soon.

Drummond is charged with four counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of James M. Wilson, 21, Adrianna Williams, 20, Cortney Rose, 38, and Braydon Williams, 15. The victims were found in Tiptonville, Tennessee, near Reelfoot Lake on July 29.

According to the police, Wilson and Adrianna Williams were the parents of the infant who was found abandoned. Rose was Adrianna and Braydon Williamsโ€™s mother. The baby is safe and being cared for.
