EULESS, Texas—A man wanted on charges of child sexual assault was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound at a home in Euless on Friday after Tarrant County deputies arrived to arrest him.
On September 19, deputies went to a residence in the 1200 block of Woodridge Circle to serve a warrant for Matthew Bruce Watson, 36. Watson was wanted on two counts of Sexual Assault of a Child.
According to authorities, Watson apparently shot himself in the head before deputies could enter the home. He was found deceased upon entry, and the Tarrant County Medical Examiner confirmed the cause of death as suicide.
Watson had been previously arrested and charged with the offenses on February 28.
