Law enforcement in East Texas is actively searching for a man who failed to appear in Kaufman County court on Monday for a serious criminal case. The suspect, Trevor McEuen, was expected to face several charges, including capital murder, but did not show up for his scheduled court date.
His disappearance has triggered a multi-county manhunt as authorities urgently try to locate him. McEuen had been released earlier on a $2 million bond and was being tracked through a GPS ankle monitor, which has now been found removed and left behind.
Who Is Trevor McEuen?
Trevor McEuen is wanted on several charges, including:
- Capital murder
- Murder
- Multiple counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
The case is connected to the May 2023 shooting death of a Van Zandt County man, whose body was discovered near his truck. Authorities believe McEuen was involved and are now working around the clock to bring him back into custody.
What Happened on the Day of the Court Hearing?
On the day of the court hearing, when McEuen failed to appear, law enforcement officers visited his home. There, they discovered that his GPS ankle monitor had been removed—a clear violation of his bond conditions. This action immediately revoked his bond, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Police began searching areas east of Grand Saline, especially along U.S. Highway 80, where they believe he may have fled or had connections.
$10,000 Reward for Information
Authorities are offering a $10,000 reward to anyone who provides information that leads to McEuen’s arrest. Members of the public are being urged to report any sightings or details that may help officers find him. You can remain anonymous.
If you have information, please call the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office at 469-376-4500.
Background on the Case
McEuen’s legal issues began in 2023 with the murder investigation in Van Zandt County. Later in September 2024, he was re-arrested for violating bond conditions after threatening the victim’s family and posting disturbing content about them on Instagram. These actions led to his $2 million bond, which is now null and void due to his escape.
Authorities consider McEuen dangerous and are urging the public not to approach him but to report any sightings immediately.
