Jackson County authorities are searching for a man in connection with the shooting death of his father Monday.

Dispatchers received a call Monday at 6:37 p.m. about a shooting on County Road 147 in Stevenson, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

County deputies, and police officers from Stevenson and Hollywood responding found Jack Edward Thompson, 54, of Stevenson, lying on the front porch at the residence.

He died at the scene from an apparent gunshot wound, according to the sheriff’s office.

Investigators are searching for his son, Jacob Tyler Thompson, 26, of Stevenson, in connection with the shooting.

Thompson is described as standing 6 feet, 2 inches tall, weighing about 140 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. He was last seen wearing a camouflage shirt with a skull emblem.
