DYERSBURG, TN – A manhunt is underway in West Tennessee for a suspect accused of killing four family members. Authorities are urgently searching for Austin Drummond, who is considered armed and dangerous. Drummond faces charges for the deaths of James Wilson, Adrianna Williams, Courtney Rose, and 15-year-old Creighton Williams. The victims are related to a baby found abandoned earlier that day in Dyer County.
Drummond was recently released from prison last September after serving time for robbing a convenience store. The district attorney revealed that Drummond had previously been in a relationship with one of the victims. On Tuesday, the bodies were discovered in a remote area of Lake County, leaving the local community in disbelief.
Residents in the area describe their neighborhood as close-knit and are grappling with the shock of such a violent event occurring so near to their homes. “It’s very shocking to have something happen this close to home,” said one resident. “It’s a very tight-knit, loving community, and for this to happen, it’s just hurtful and hard to understand.”
Authorities have identified a vehicle they believe Drummond might be using—a 2006 Ford with noticeable damage to the driver’s side. They urge anyone with information on Drummond’s whereabouts to contact law enforcement immediately.
As the search intensifies, local law enforcement is collaborating with state and federal agencies to locate Drummond. The community is on high alert, and residents have been advised to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity.
The tragic incident has left many questioning how such violence could erupt in their peaceful surroundings. Support services are being offered to those affected, and community leaders are working to provide assistance to the grieving families.
The investigation continues as authorities piece together the sequence of events leading up to the killings. Meanwhile, the community mourns the loss of their neighbors and hopes for a swift resolution to the manhunt.
