Texas Fugitive Wanted For Capital Murder Captured After Month-Long Manhunt
Trevor McEuen, a 32-year-old capital murder suspect on Texas' 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list, was arrested early Monday in Van Zandt County after a month-long manhunt, the Kaufman County Sheriff's Office announced. McEuen, who skipped a May 5 court appearance for the 2023 killing of Aaron Martinez, 35, in Forney, was taken into custody without incident following an hours-long SWAT standoff at his grandparent's home, where he was allegedly hiding under the house. 'His grandmother is in her 90s. From what I'm hearing, he was hiding under the house and was hiding from her as well,' said McEuen's attorney, Abigail Spain, per CBS 11. 'So, I am hopeful that they would not be facing any charges for this. I don't believe that they were aiding and abetting.' The Kaufman County Sheriff's Office posted a photo on social media showing McEuen, barefoot and mud-covered, in a police vehicle. Authorities located him through weeks of investigative work and surveillance, with assistance from the Van Zandt County Sheriff's Office and the Texas Department of Public Safety. 'This arrest is the result of relentless and coordinated efforts by law enforcement personnel who worked around the clock to ensure that this dangerous individual was brought back into custody,' Sheriff Bryan Beavers said. 'The safety of our community was at stake, and we are proud of the partnership and professionalism displayed by every agency involved.' McEuen faces charges including capital murder by terror threat, five counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, arson, bail jumping, and failure to appear. He is held in Kaufman County Jail, with no bond amount listed as of Monday afternoon. Authorities are investigating whether anyone knowingly aided McEuen while he was a fugitive. Martinez's family told CBS News Texas that McEuen had previously threatened Martinez, fired at his property, and made racially charged remarks, though Martinez did not pursue charges at the time. McEuen allegedly shot Martinez multiple times on May 1, 2023, and admitted to the murder after a SWAT standoff. Initially arrested that month, McEuen was released on a $1 million bond in September 2024 but violated conditions by posting photos of Martinez and his relatives on Instagram. Released again on a $2 million bond in December, he cut off his ankle monitor at 5:33 a.m. on May 5, 2025, and allegedly set a house on fire before fleeing. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott had offered a $30,000 reward for information leading to McEuen's arrest, but the Texas DPS said the reward would not be paid. A news conference on the arrest is expected, though details about the standoff's duration remain undisclosed.

Yella Beezy Indicted For Hiring Hitman That Killed Mo3
Yella Beezy has been arrested in connection with the murder of fellow rapper Mo3. USA Today reports that the Dallas rapper was indicted by a grand jury on Tuesday (March 18) and booked into the Dallas County Jail on Thursday (March 20). An arrest warrant was issued for the rapper, né Markies Conway, after investigators learned that he'd hired a man named Kewon Dontrell White for Mo3's killing. DJ Akademiks shared a copy of the indictment on X/Twitter, revealing that the Southern artist 'called [White] on or about the 11th day of November 2020 … intentionally and knowingly' planned the killing. As a result, the 'That's On Me' rapper has been charged with capital murder with promise of remuneration. If convicted for both the murder and the murder-for-hire plot, Mo3 will be facing the death penalty in Texas. Investigators claim that a ski-masked White ambushed Noble in broad daylight on a Dallas street. Mo3 exited his vehicle and attempted to flee on foot, but his attacker fired several shots. Noble was hit in the back. Cops say it was White who then fled the crime scene in a dark-colored vehicle. Melvin Noble was pronounced dead at a local hospital on Nov. 11, 2020. After his murder, Mo3's manager, Brandon Rainwater released a statement, telling CBS 11, '[MO3] spoke for the Black community, the white community, the Mexican community, for all races. We lost a good speaker, a poet, an artist.' White was arrested for the murder the following month and is currently in custody serving a nine-year sentence for gun charges. Yella Beezy's bond has not yet been set.
