“I saw a stretcher come out from over there this morning, approximately around 7 or something like that. There was somebody on it and they put it back in the vehicle,” Paul Blakely said, a neighbor.

Law enforcement hasn’t disclosed many details about the investigation.

The LCSO mobile command center and three other LCSO vehicles are at the scene.

This is an active investigation, and WINK News will update this article with more information when it becomes available.
