Tennessee shooting suspect in police custody after manhunt

(NewsNation) — Austin Drummond, the man accused of killing four people in Tennessee, has been captured and is in police custody.

Drummond, 28, was on the run since July 29 and was captured Tuesday by the U.S. Marshals. The bodies of the four people were found after a baby was found abandoned in front of a stranger’s house. He allegedly killed the baby’s parents, grandmother and uncle.

“This would not have been achieved without the tireless work and dedication of our local, state, and federal partners," Dyer County Sheriff Jeff Box said in a statement. "Their commitment to justice and public safety around the clock since Tuesday at 3pm has been invaluable throughout this investigation. Also, our citizens have been extremely helpful and cooperative. Thank you so much for always being a willing partner with our deputies and investigators.”

Box added that the focus now shifts to "honoring the lives lost and providing support to their grieving families."

The investigation is ongoing. Drummond is facing first-degree murder and aggravated kidnapping charges.
