Reports of a truck in a ditch Thursday night in Jeff Davis Parish led to the discovery of a man who apparently had been shot to death.

The body was found under the front of the truck in a ditch near the intersection of Highway 11-26 and South Main road near Roanoke.

Jeff Davis Parish Sheriff Rickey Edwards says the body of 23 year old Kenneth Wayne Harmon was wedged under the front, driver's side tire of his own truck.

Edwards says Harmon's body had a small caliber gun-shot wound.
