2 more people charged with helping man accused of killing 4 as he evaded authorities, officials say

Austin Drummond allegedly murdered four family members in Tiptonville on July 29, with victims found dead from gunshot wounds.
The killings led to a six-day search in western Tennessee, during which Drummond remained on the run until his capture in Jackson on August 5.
Multiple people, including Eric Wise Jr. and Michell Ovelis, were charged with helping Drummond evade authorities by providing shelter, phones, and rides.
Drummond, 28, has entered a plea of not guilty to charges involving four first-degree murder counts and maintains his innocence, explaining that he went into hiding after his identity as an FBI informant was compromised.
If Drummond is found guilty, prosecutors intend to pursue capital punishment, and the case also involves ongoing charges against several individuals accused of assisting after the crime.
