Fugitive Trevor McEuen Apprehended After Lengthy Manhunt
Kaufman County, TX — After nearly two years on the run, Trevor McEuen, a fugitive wanted for capital murder and multiple counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, has been apprehended by the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office, bringing a dramatic end to one of the region’s most intense manhunts in recent memory.
McEuen was originally charged in connection to the May 2023 shooting death of his neighbor in Forney, Texas—a case that sent shockwaves through the local community. Authorities say the crime was both brutal and calculated. While out on bond, McEuen removed his court-ordered ankle monitor and failed to appear for his trial scheduled on May 5, 2025, prompting immediate action from law enforcement agencies and U.S. Marshals.
A $30,000 reward had been offered for information leading to his capture, as McEuen managed to evade authorities for months, moving across jurisdictions and reportedly relying on a network of associates to stay hidden.
The circumstances surrounding McEuen’s arrest have not yet been fully disclosed, but officials confirm he is now in custody and will soon face the full extent of the law. Investigators are expected to provide additional details about his arrest and any potential charges related to his flight from justice in a forthcoming press conference.
“This arrest brings long-overdue relief to the victim’s family and marks a major step toward justice,” said a representative from the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office. “We thank the public for their assistance, as well as our law enforcement partners who helped track McEuen down.”
Trevor McEuen is currently being held at the Kaufman County Jail, where he awaits additional legal proceedings. Authorities are also investigating whether any individuals knowingly assisted McEuen during his time as a fugitive.
The case remains active, and updates will follow as more information becomes available.
