North Texas sheriff deputies searching for murder suspect who removed ankle monitor
The Van Zandt County Sheriff's Office is searching for a murder suspect who was due in court Monday, but removed his ankle monitor.
Deputies are searching for Trevor McEuen near US Highway 80 east of Grand Saline, about 65 miles east of Dallas.
McEuen faces numerous charges in neighboring Kaufman County, including capital murder, murder and aggravated assault. They stem from the death of Aaron Martinez, who was shot and killed in May of 2023.
Authorities are asking anyone in the area to call 911 if they see anyone suspicious, and to not attempt to apprehend McEuen if they see him.
The death of Aaron Martinez
Relatives told CBS News Texas after his death that Martinez moved to Forney to open a horse training ranch. His new neighbor, McEuen, told Martinez that Hispanics were not welcome, the relatives said.
Incident reports showed that Martinez had safety concerns dating back to at least July of 2022, when he told police that McEuen pointed a gun at him, fired at his property and threatened his employees. He didn't pursue charges.
McEuen's father later told police Martinez had also shot guns in their direction, which Martinez's father denied.
Arrest documents showed that McEuen admitted to killing Martinez.

Two men facing state charges in ongoing investigation into unsanctioned Charleston County nightclub
CHARLESTON COUNTY, S.C. (WCBD) — Two men are now facing state-level alcohol, weapons, and narcotics charges in connection with an ongoing investigation into allegations of illegal activity at an unsanctioned nightclub in Charleston County. Multiple federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies carried out a targeted sting operation at the Alamo club on Highway 78 around 3 a.m. on June 1, which resulted in the arrests of 80 people, including two alleged high-level cartel members and one person wanted in an international murder investigation. Warrants provided June 6 by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) indicate that further investigation in the aftermath of what has been called 'Operation Last Stand' has resulted in additional charges against two individuals. Benjamin Reyna Flores, 59, was charged with Sale of Alcohol by an Unlicensed Person, Unlawful Storage of Alcoholic Liquors, Unlawful Sale of Liquor and Unlawful Sale of Beer. Terone Lavince Lawson, 44, was charged with Possession of Psilocybin MushroomsPossession of Methamphetamine, Possession of Cocaine and two counts of Possession of a Firearm by a Person Convicted of Certain Crimes. The warrants state that Lawson was working as a security guard at the nightclub at the time of the raid, and that drugs and weapons were found in his vehicle. Charleston County Sheriff Carl Ritchie said during a June 2 press conference that the agency had been monitoring the unlicensed club since November 2024. Immigration advocates say Charleston County sting operation unfairly targeted Latinos and Hispanics Authorities said seven people believed to be victims of human trafficking were discovered inside the club during the raid, as well as a missing juvenile. More than 70 people who were taken into custody were believed to be in the country illegally, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The agency also claimed the club was run by a suspected member of Los Zetas, a Mexican drug cartel. But few details surrounding who exactly was swept up in the operation have raised concerns of racial profiling among some in the Hispanic and Latino communities, with immigration advocates calling for more transparency. 'Many of us are too afraid to speak up — not because we're guilty, but because we fear retaliation,' Alejandar Delaveea said in a June 6 press conference. 'Because we don't have legal status. Just being in the wrong place at the wrong time is treated like a crime — even if it's your first offense. If living life is a crime, then I guess I'm guilty… but one thing I won't be is silent.'

Second suspect arrested in fake drug deal turned shooting at Love's
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — A second suspect has been arrested in a fake drug deal that turned into a shooting at Love's Truck Stop about 10:45 p.m. on Friday, May 30. Rahab Ontiveros has been charged in connection with the shooting of Pedro Martinez. According to the arrest affidavit, before the shooting, Jose 'Pelon' Perez had asked Ontiveros to sell Martinez some truck equipment. However, Martinez didn't pay Perez the agreed-upon amount. New details in the Love's Travel Stop shooting suspect's arrest after car chase Later, Martinez reached out to Ontiveros, looking to buy methamphetamine. Ontiveros went to a store and bought bath salts, which she and Perez planned to say was meth. They agreed to meet at Love's Truck Stop. Martinez and his girlfriend arrived at the Love's Truck Stop, where Martinez's friend, Marcelino Romero, joined them later. Perez and Ontiveros arrived in separate vehicles. Ontiveros also asked a friend of hers, Jose Salas, to be there, and in exchange, she would buy him a beer. Once everyone was there, Martinez's girlfriend went inside Love's. Ontiveros approached Martinez to make the fake drug deal. Martinez had Romero inspect the 'drugs', who quickly found out they were fake. At this point, Perez jumped out of his vehicle with his gun drawn and began firing. Multiple witnesses on the scene said they heard four to eight gunshots from the southside parking lot at Love's Truck Stop. Ontiveros got in her car and left the scene. Romero also left the scene. Perez, who was still armed, ran to Salas, who was not in on the plot and was driving away, and forced him to drive somewhere at gunpoint away from the scene. Ontiveros said she had taken the revolver to her residence on Borton, wrapped it in gray sweats, given it to her son, and told him to hide it. The gun, a Heritage Rough Rider .22 caliber long-barrel revolver, was located in a creek bed near the residence. Ontiveros has been charged with Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Serious Bodily Injury and is being held in the Wichita County Jail on a $750,000 bond. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
