Detectives were at the front of the house when they heard the gunshot from the rear. The man apparently walked out the back door and shot himself, they said.
The man, identified as Ed Foster, died at the scene.
The Texarkana Texas Police Department says the felony arrest warrant for Foster was for continuous sexual abuse of a child. Officials believe there may be more victims. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Detective Cliff Harris at 903-798-3170.
