Citizen Heroes: The Brave Eyes That Ended a Manhunt”
On Tuesday, in Jackson, TN, two separate individuals independently spotted someone they believed to be the fugitive. Rather than turning away or doubting their instincts, they each called authorities immediately—and their swift action likely prevented further bloodshed.
One of those men, who spoke exclusively with FOX13, described the chilling moment he locked eyes with Drummond and realized who he was. “I knew it was him—I just knew,” he said. “My heart dropped, but I knew I had to call. I couldn’t let him hurt anyone else.” Thanks to that call and rapid coordination from law enforcement, Drummond was arrested without incident.
The community is now calling these men heroes. In a time of deep grief and fear, their vigilance saved lives and helped bring closure to a region haunted by unthinkable violence.

While justice may be underway, healing has only just begun. The victims—whose names have not all been publicly released—were members of Drummond’s own family, described by neighbors as loving, warm, and deeply connected to their faith and community. The loss has left friends, relatives, and neighbors in profound mourning.
Investigators are still working to determine the motive behind the brutal killings, but the emotional toll is already immeasurable. Candlelight vigils are being planned, and mental health resources have been mobilized to support those grappling with the emotional aftermath of such a devastating event.
