By
NEW BADEN, ILLINOIS - Police were investigating the shooting death of a Georgia man whose body was found Friday morning in his tractor-trailer at a road side near New Baden in southwest Illinois. <br> <br> Robert G. Armfield, 36, of Ludowici, Ga., was shot four times, including once in the back of the head, St. Clair County Coroner Rick Stone said. <br> <br> Authorities said Armfield&#39;s truck had been parked for at least two days near an Illinois 161 off-ramp that connects to the eastbound lanes of Interstate 64. <br> <br> The Illinois State Police was investigating but did not release any details of the case. Police also would not identify the name of the company for which Armfield was driving. <br> <br> The company notified authorities after a global positioning system indicated that Armfield&#39;s tractor-trailer hadn&#39;t moved for two days, Stone said.
