Upon arriving at the scene
investigating officers discovered an elderly male subject at the residence who was formally pronounced deceased by a Justice of the Peace.
An autopsy was ordered, and the deceased was to be transported to the medical examiner's office by a local funeral home.
Eagle Pass Police Chief Albert Guajardo confirmed the tragic incident.
“A firearm was recovered at the scene and is being processed accordingly. Out of respect for the family, information will be released at a later time as it becomes available,” stated Chief Guajardo.
This tragic incident is the third of this kind that happens within a block area of where the recent death has occurred.
Two other individuals in the past 25 years, a male and female also took their own lives in that same block many years ago.
