BENTON, Ark. (AP) - Authorities are investigating after a man was found shot to death in Saline County.
Authorities say hunters discovered a body Sunday morning. Relatives told Little Rock television station KATV (http://is.gd/1usTHb ) that the victim is 19-year-old Gregory Pikes Jr.
The family says Pikes had been shot multiple times. His mother, Tinka Robins, says her son had recently been beaten up and left in a ditch. She says he'd also been threatened recently by a group of friends.
Authorities say no one has been arrested yet in the fatal shooting.
