A federal Customs and Border Protection agent died by suicide in the Bronx early Wednesday when he turned a gun on himself in front of his girlfriend, sources said.
The 29-year-old agent suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head inside an apartment at Westchester Avenue and East 152nd Street in Melrose around 6:40 a.m., authorities and sources said.
The man’s girlfriend — also a CBP agent — witnessed the moment her beau took his own life, the sources said.
The NYPD descended on the scene after receiving a 911 call for help, cops said.
The agent, whose name has not been released, was pronounced dead at the scene by EMS workers.
