A murder suspect wanted in connection with the "targeted" July deaths of four people in Tennessee after a baby was discovered abandoned in a person’s front yard was captured after a multi-day manhunt.

Austin Robert Drummond, 28, was taken into custody, police in Jackson, Tennessee, said Tuesday morning.

U.S. Marshals captured him after he was sighted in the area Sunday evening, police said. A shelter-in-place order was in effect, where residents were warned to lock their doors and windows, after security cameras captured Drummond armed with a rifle and wearing a camouflage jacket. Footage released by the department on Monday showed him armed with a gun, appearing to try to enter a building.

Drummond, who was last seen on July 29, was wanted on four counts of first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping, and gun charges in connection with the deaths of Matthew Wilson, 21; Adrianna Williams, 20; Cortney Rose, 38; and Braydon Williams, 15. Their bodies were found on July 29 in a wooded area near Tiptonville, north of Memphis, according to Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director David Rausch.
