GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas (AP) - Police suspect suicide in the death of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who engaged in an armed standoff with Grand Prairie police.

A police statement issued today says officers were sent to Mark Juvette's apartment after ICE colleagues expressed concern for his welfare. They said Juvette had called in sick, then hadn't been heard from for a week.

After several attempts to get the federal agent to answer the door, but several gunshots were fired through the door when police tried to enter his apartment with a pass key.

Tactical officers and negotiators were summoned, but a police pole camera found Juvette dead on his living room sofa, apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
