A few minutes after deputies got there, someone fired at them from outside the home. When he arrived a few minutes later, the sheriff tried to negotiate with the man, but couldn't reach him. A family member told him Mathis threatened to kill himself and was last seen outside of the home. Around 9:20 p.m. after still not hearing from him, deputies Mathis dead.
