A man suspected of killing four family members in Tennessee has been captured, authorities said. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation announced the arrest of Austin Drummond on Tuesday morning.
Drummond, 28, has been charged with four counts of murder in the first degree and lesser charges in the killings of the four relatives.
Authorities identified the victims as Cortney Rose, 38; Adrianna Williams, 20; Braydon Williams, 15; and James Matthew Wilson, 21.
Authorities posted photos of Drummond to social media after he was taken into custody.
The investigation into the killings started after an infant in a car seat was abandoned in a front yard last week. When authorities identified the child, they said on social media they wanted to speak with Rose, Adrianna Williams and Wilson. Then the four victims’ bodies were discovered.
Rose was the mother of Braydon Williams and Adrianna Williams, who was in a relationship with Wilson, CBS affiliate WTVF-TV reported.
“There’s a child who has lost not only parents but has lost a grandparent, an uncle,” District Attorney Danny Goodman told WTVF-TV.
Goodman has said that Drummond was dating a close relative of the victims, the station reported.
