QUADRUPLE HOMICIDE SUSPECT AUSTIN DRUMMOND SPOTTED IN JACKSON

Austin Drummond, a suspect in a quadruple homicide in Tiptonville, Tennessee, was spotted on surveillance footage at Cornerstone Community Church in Jackson, Tennessee, on August 3, 2025. The footage shows him attempting to enter the church, dressed in camouflage and carrying a brown backpack and a black rifle. He is wanted for the murders of James Wilson, Adrianna Williams, Cortney Rose, and Braydon Williams, whose bodies were found on July 29 near Reelfoot Lake.

Drummond faces charges including four counts of first-degree murder and aggravated kidnapping. A manhunt is underway in Jackson, focusing on areas around Pipkin Road, with police urging residents to lock doors and avoid contact, as Drummond is considered armed and dangerous. A $32,500 reward is offered for information on his whereabouts, and three alleged accomplices are in custody. Authorities suspect Drummond may have crossed state lines, prompting a federal investigation.

SUSPECT IS ARMED. DO NOT APPROACH.
