James Wilson, Adrianna Williams Obituary, Death – Authorities in northwest Tennessee have identified a suspect in the deaths of four individuals whose bodies were discovered earlier this week. On Thursday, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) named 28-year-old Austin Robert Drummond as the primary suspect in the case.
Drummond is wanted on multiple serious charges, including four counts of First Degree Murder, one count of Aggravated Kidnapping, four counts of being a Felon in Possession of a Firearm, and one count of Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Dangerous Felony. According to the Dyer County Sheriff’s Office, Drummond is believed to be driving a gray 2016 Audi A3 with Tennessee license plate RI 01896.
Law enforcement officials have warned the public that Drummond is considered armed and extremely dangerous. They strongly urge anyone who sees him to avoid approaching him and instead immediately contact emergency services by calling 911. Additional contact numbers for reporting information include 731-415-7962, 731-333-0811, or the TBI tip line at 1-800-TBI-FIND.
According to records from the Tennessee Department of Corrections, Drummond was released from prison in September of last year after serving time for an aggravated robbery conviction. His release came less than a year before the current investigation.
District Attorney Danny Goodman revealed that Drummond either had a romantic relationship or a past connection with a relative of one of the victims, Adrianna Williams, further deepening the possible personal motive in the killings.
The tragic discovery occurred on Tuesday when the bodies of four individuals were found on Carrington Road in Tiptonville. The victims were identified as 21-year-old James Wilson, 20-year-old Adrianna Williams, 38-year-old Courtney Rose, and 15-year-old Braydon Williams. All four victims had ties to the local area and their deaths have shocked the small community.
In a bit of relief amid the tragedy, an infant who is believed to be related to the victims was found unharmed. The child was discovered in front of a residence in Dyer County and is now in safe custody.
Investigators are continuing to piece together the timeline and motive behind the killings. So far, no further details have been released about the nature of the deaths, the scene where the bodies were found, or how the suspect may have been connected to all four victims.
The investigation remains active, and authorities are asking for the public’s help in locating Drummond or providing any information that could aid in the case. The TBI and local law enforcement agencies are working in close coordination to track down the suspect and bring justice to the victims and their families.
