Governor Greg Abbott has announced a reward for information leading to the arrest of Trevor McEuen, who is wanted after failing to appear in court on charges including capital murder. The Office of the Governor’s Public Safety Office is offering up to $10,000, while Kaufman County Crime Stoppers and the Kaufman County Sheriff's Office are each contributing another $10,000, totaling a $30,000 reward.

“Trevor McEuen is exactly why Texas must fix its broken and deadly bail system,” said Governor Abbott. “A violent criminal like McEuen charged with capital murder should never be released on our streets. That’s why I made bail reform an emergency item that must pass this legislative session. I urge all Texans with information on McEuen to call the Texas Crime Stoppers hotline or submit an anonymous tip online to help law enforcement apprehend this heinous criminal. Working together, we will bring fugitives like Trevor McEuen to justice.”

McEuen faces charges of capital murder, four counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and murder related to the 2023 shooting death of Aaron Martinez. On May 5, 2025, he missed his court date and removed his ankle monitor before leaving his home.

The Texas Department of Public Safety has placed him on their 10 Most Wanted Fugitive List. Authorities emphasize that tipsters can remain anonymous by contacting the Texas Crime Stoppers hotline or submitting tips online through the Texas Department of Public Safety website.

Callers’ anonymity is guaranteed by law regardless of how tips are submitted, and tipsters will be provided a tip number instead of using a name. Fugitives should be considered armed and dangerous. Texans should never try to apprehend a fugitive.
