Authorities still are searching for a suspect in the killing of a Jasper, Tenn., man over the weekend.
Marion County Sheriff’s Office deputies found the body of 34-year-old Jeremy Brent Hughes in a pool of blood in the living room of a house on Chambers Road, said Sheriff Ronnie “Bo” Burnett.
A preliminary autopsy showed he died from severe head trauma, but investigators aren’t sure what he was struck with, Sheriff Burnett said.
Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Kristin Helm said autopsy results and evidence at the scene indicate a homicide. Authorities are asking for the public’s help to solve the crime.
“We have some leads but nothing substantial,” Sheriff Burnett said.
