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.

Newtown's new grown-up candlelit Italian restaurant just scored a hat
Ramp up the acid and it'd be a match for the hand-rolled pappardelle turned through buttery chicken-liver ragu, a gorgeous spin on a Marcella Hazan recipe made even better with some pepper from the metre-long grinder. But it's the gnudi that best shows off Allende's handiwork: house ricotta and semolina is kneaded into dumplings that are full of bounce, each topped with fried sage and lemon zest and slick with brown butter. MUST. Pastry chef Lauren Eldridge's cassata is in all caps, too. Spoon into the decorative Sicilian cake and a shell of pistachio marzipan and candied fruits gives way to herbal, Liquore Strega-soaked sponge and chocolate-flecked ricotta, all finished with fondant lacework worthy of North Carolina's annual National Gingerbread House Competition. One for the ages. Meanwhile, the room is a pleasure to be in. The quarters are close, candles flicker. Behind the bar, staff can stir down a Martinez as well as section waiters can speak to a wine list that goes all-in on Italy, with a reserve section dedicated to terroir-driven makers including Arianna Occhipinti and Elisabetta Foradori. It's slim pickings under $90 but you can't accuse the list of lacking a point of view. And that's what makes this strip so compelling. Each venue is its own thing, uncompromising and fully realised. Coupled with boutique rooms upstairs, the Continental hub is primed to capitalise on Newtown's transformation from student haunt to a suburb where hatted restaurants are as common as the crystal shops and Thai takeaways. Somewhere, you might just take your mum for pig's-head charcuterie.

The Aston Villa forward is the subject of an offer believed to be from league newcomers Neom. 3 Leon Bailey scored only two goals in 38 games for Villa this season Credit: Reuters 3 The Jamaican international did not enjoy a good second half of the season Credit: Reuters 3 Villa boss Unai Emery has a big summer ahead of him Credit: Reuters His agents have already held initial discussions with the Pro League club. Jamaican international Bailey, 27, is set to earn up to £10 million a year, tax-free. He was a key member of the Villa squad that qualified for the Champions League last season but has since fallen out of favour. The emergence of Morgan Rogers and the arrival of Marcus Rashford, combined with a series of niggling injuries, frustrated Bailey throughout the past campaign.

The Argentine World Cup winner was left in tears after Villa's final home game of the season, further fuelling rumours that it may have been his last appearance at Villa Park. When asked about the futures of both Bailey and Martinez ahead of the final game of the season, Villa boss Unai Emery said: 'Now we are focused on the matches we are playing.

The 27-year-old had been sidelined by United manager Ruben Amorim but was a breath of fresh air as Villa narrowly missed out on a Champions League spot. Sunsport understands Rashford has not entirely ruled out a return to Villa Park. However, interest from clubs abroad has made negotiations delicate at this stage. Martinez, 32, fuelled speculation when he broke down in tears and took a bow in front of the Holte End after Villa's final home game of the season. Some feared it was a farewell and since then he was linked with a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League. Man United, Arsenal, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are also rumoured to be keen. Martinez's contract runs until 2029 but a bid of £40million or more would ease Villa's PSR concerns.
