Tiptonville Suspect Sought After Quadruple Homicide

Authorities in Tennessee are intensifying their search for Austin Robert Drummond, who has been accused of a premeditated quadruple homicide in Tiptonville, with all victims related and including the parents of an abandoned infant now in safe care. Drummond faces four counts of first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping, and firearms offenses, and is considered armed and dangerous. He has been placed on Tennessee's Most Wanted list. Two associates, Tanaka Brown and Giovonte Thomas, have been arrested and charged with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder for allegedly assisting Drummond in evading law enforcement. Brown is held without bond in Lake County Jail, while Thomas, previously in custody on unrelated charges, will be transferred for arraignment. Authorities continue to urge the public to report any information on Drummond's whereabouts.
