Frightening hand signal of quadruple murder suspect Austin Drummond in footage released just hours before his arrest

TERRIFYING footage of the Tennessee quadruple murder suspect has been released as internet sleuths attempt to figure out the meaning behind a hand gesture he made.

Last week, four members of the same family were killed in Tennessee as a 7-month-old baby was left inside of a car seat in a driveway.

The case has since garnered national attention following the manhunt for Austin Robert Drummond, who was captured on Tuesday morning after a week on the run.

The victims were identified as the baby’s parents, Matthew Wilson, 21, and Adrianna Williams, 20; the child’s grandparent Cortney Rose, 38; and Braydon Williams, 15, the baby’s uncle.

The baby was around 40 miles of where the bodies were found, police said.

In footage recorded on Aug. 3, the alleged suspect can be seen sneaking behind a building, making a wave gesture and attempting to open multiple doors.

“It was a pretty unsettling moment to think that this guy that they’re looking for just walked through, right through my yard,” resident Ray Condray told CBS affiliate WBBJ-TV.

The suspect was wearing a camouflage sweatshirt and carrying a black rifle and a backpack as he prowled in the person’s yard.

After the footage was released, internet sleuths worked to dissect one point where the suspect looks over and seemingly makes a hand gesture.

“Looks like He’s signaling to someone else that seems to be out there with him,” one Facebook user wrote.

“Did he look like he was talking to someone or was it just me,” another commented.

Some pointed out that there appears to be a white car in the direction of where the man in the video looked.

“Someone for sure in or beside the car,” a commenter said.

“Looks like the hand signal was telling somebody to go back behind him or either watch behind him.”

“Did he give a sign to the vehicle in the background,” another posted.

Drummond allegedly has connections to Chicago’s Vice Lords, a street and prison gang which some commenters theorized could be the reasoning behind the gesture.

Quadruple murders timeline

Tuesday, July 29: A seven-month-old baby girl was found abandoned in a car seat in the front yard of a residence in Tigrett, Dyer County, Tennessee, at around 3 pm.

Hours later: Four individuals were found dead in Lake County approximately 40 miles from where the baby was located.

Wednesday, July 30: Investigators identify the victims as:

  • Matthew Wilson, 21, (the baby’s father)
  • Adrianna Williams, 20 (the baby’s mother)
  • Cortney Rose, 38, (the baby’s grandmother)
  • Braydon Williams, 15, (the baby’s maternal uncle)

Thursday, July 31: The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation name Austin Drummond, 28, as a suspect in the quadruple homicide.

Friday, August 1: Cops locate Drummond’s damaged Audi A3 abandoned on a road in Jackson. Tanaka Brown has been arrested and is accused of being an accessory to first degree murder after the fact and tampering with evidence.

Saturday, August 2: Agents arrest second man Giovontie Thomas for accessory to first degree murder after the fact. They also locate a Ford pick up truck believed to be connected to Drummond in Dyer County.

Monday, August 4: Dearrah Sanders is the third person to be arrested and charged for accessory to first degree murder after the fact.

Jackson cops also release surveillance footage of Drummond, wearing camouflaged gear, stalking a neighborhood and trying to get into a church building.

Tuesday, August 5: Drummond taken into custody after being captured in Jackson. He was arrested after cops issued a shelter-in-place order following a suspected sighting.

“[H]e just gave a gang sign to someone,” one posted underneath the police video.

“That gesture looked almost like a gang gesture,” another commented.

Since the slayings, police have arrested three other suspects for allegedly helping Drummond on the run.

Officials were offering a $32,500 reward for information leading to his arrest, and were unsure if he was still in the state.

Photos of the capture show Drummond sweaty and dazed as officers hold on to either side of him.

Drummond has a lengthy criminal record, and was just released after serving 13 years in prison for armed robbery and retaliation charges.

The 28-year-old was let out of jail in September, and was charged with attempted murder in December for an alleged incident that happened while in jail.

He was out on bail at the time of the murders.

Fox announces brand new streaming service ahead of new NFL season costing $19.99-a-month

FOX is set to launch its direct-to-consumer streaming service.

Fox One will be available to customers on August 21, ahead of the NFL season.

The streaming service will cost $19.99 per month, but pay TV subscribers will get free access, according to CEO Lachlan Murdoch.

Fox One will house all of the Fox TV portfolio.

This means, live sports like NFL, MLB, and Nascar will appear on the service.

Starting on September 4, Fox One subscribers will be able to watch the network’s NFL games.

College football games will also be available on Fox One.

Fox owns the right to MLB postseason games as well, which will feature on the service.

What Fox One won’t have is exclusive and original content, according to Murdoch.

“It’s important to remember that our subscriber expectations or aspirations for Fox One are modest,” Murdoch said.

Much of the business plan surrounding Fox One is to not trample on the network’s pay TV subscriber base.

Murdoch said the streaming service would be “healthy and not a discounted price” when it was first announced.

That was in order to not cause customers to abandon their pay TV packages.

However, Fox will look to package Fox One with other streaming services.

Murdoch said the company is going to be careful in this pursuit as to not hurt the pay TV subscriber base.

“Sometimes those two things conflict with each other,” he said.

NFL important dates 2025 season

March 12 - Free Agency begins

April 24-26 – NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin

September 4 – 2025 season opener (TBC vs Eagles)

November 27 – Thanksgiving Day triple header

January 4, 2026 – End of regular-season

February 8, 2026 – Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California

“So we want to be very targeted, but we also want to make it easy for our consumers and our viewers to gain our content, whether it’s in conjunction with other services or not.”

Fox isn’t alone in its jump to a direct-to-consumer streaming service.

ESPN will be joining the scene this fall.

Disney is releasing an app priced at $29.99 per month, and more info will probably come at its earnings report on Wednesday.
