UPDATE: KATC's Jordan Lippincott spoke to one of the few people who live on Nighthawk Road, who said that they heard about five gunshots on Wednesday, but they weren't worried because many people shoot snakes in the field.
Sheriff K.P. Gibson said he does not recall getting any reports on shots fired in the area.
At this time, the Sheriff's Office hasn't released the identity of the body or the cause of death.
