A family mourns after Pulaski County deputies find their loved one, Jerry Stubbs, 65, dead in a vacant lot.

“It’s hard. It’s going to be hard for a while, but we’ll see through it. We’ll see through it,” said Cohens.Deputies still have not released a motive or a suspect. If you know anything, call the sheriff’s office.
