Texas authorities have reported that a capital murder suspect is currently at large after he removed his ankle monitor on the day he was supposed to go on trial, as stated by PEOPLE.
In a social media update on Monday, May 5, the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office announced that various law enforcement agencies are searching for Trevor McEuen, who faces capital murder charges. He was expected to appear in court for his trial on that Monday but instead took off his court-ordered ankle monitor around 5:30 a.m. and “left his residence,” according to the sheriff’s office.
“It is currently unknown whether McEuen fled on foot or in a vehicle, and there is no description of the clothing he may be wearing,” the sheriff’s office said. “Authorities also have not confirmed whether he is armed. The public is urged to remain vigilant and not approach McEuen if spotted.”
McEuen faces a capital murder charge in connection with the May 2023 shooting of his neighbor, 35-year-old Aaron Martinez, as reported by ABC affiliate WFAA, KDFW, and CBS News. Allegedly, McEuen told Martinez that Hispanics were unwelcome in the neighborhood shortly after he moved in, according to Martinez’s family.
McEuen was arrested in May 2023 and was released on bond with conditions. He was arrested again in September 2024 for posting threats against Martinez and his uncle on social media. The suspect was held on a $2 million bond and was released after posting it last December. Authorities are now offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to his capture.
