The Panola County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a possible homicide.

The body of Lamarcus Scott was found in a bedroom closet just before noon Monday at his home on Panola County Road 302.

The Panola Watchman is saying deputies responded to a check welfare call when they found the home locked. After entering the structure through a window, blood stains were found on the wall and Scott’s body was discovered.

Authorities are waiting for an autopsy report to determine the cause of death.

Scott’s pickup is also missing, a blue 2007 Ford F-150 pickup.
