North Texas murder suspect who was on the run for a month is arrested, cops say
A North Texas murder suspect who authorities say removed his ankle monitor and fled before a court hearing in May was arrested on Monday, June 2, after he was missing for almost a month.
The fugitive, Trevor McEuen, was taken into custody early Monday morning, the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office said in a Facebook post. Additional details about the circumstances of the arrest will be released later today, the Sheriff’s Office said.
The search for McEuen started May 5 in Van Zandt County. He was scheduled to go on trial that week in Kaufman County on a capital murder charge.
McEuen is charged with the 2023 fatal shooting of his neighbor, 35-year-old Aaron Martinez.
Martinez was shot more than 15 times, his family told Star-Telegram media partner WFFA-TV at the time.
