Manhunt for Texas murder suspect Trevor McEuen enrages officials demanding stricter bail: ‘they will walk'
Share this @internewscast.com

A district attorney in Texas is advocating for tougher bail regulations as authorities search for a murder suspect accused of removing his ankle monitor and evading capture just before his trial started on Monday.

Kaufman County officials are on the lookout for Trevor McEuen, who reportedly confessed to the shooting and killing of his neighbor, Aaron Martinez, a horse trainer, in 2023. The search has been ongoing since early this week.

“As we remain vigilant in our efforts to capture Trevor McEuen, the person charged with the capital murder of Mr. Martinez, Kaufman County District Attorney Erleigh Wiley strongly supports Governor Abbott’s proposed bail reform,” the District Attorney’s office stated in a press release on Tuesday. “The proposed legislation aims to amend the constitution to grant judges the authority to deny bail to suspects accused of violent crimes, including capital murder.”

The DA’s office further noted that a court imposed a $2 million bond for McEuen after his arrest, “along with the strictest possible conditions, including electric monitoring and house arrest.”

Former Texas Rep. Mayra Flores said in a Facebook post following Martinez’s death that she met his family at an event near Kaufman County.

Martinez’s obituary states that his “biggest accomplishments were owning his own business, becoming a U.S. Citizen, building his dream ranch, giving back to the community but most of all his dear Children.”

“They exemplified the American Dream and had started a horse training ranch.”

“The Martinez family is seeking justice after Aaron Martinez was killed by his neighbor, Trevor McEuen,” she said. “The family is demanding Trevor McEuen be charged with a hate crime.”

Authorities are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the suspect’s whereabouts. Tipsters can contact the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office at 469-376-4500 or share anonymous information by calling Kaufman County Crime Stoppers at 1-877-847-7522. 

“Justice for the Martinez family will come,” Wiley said. “In the meantime, we ask the public to stay alert and help us ensure the safety of our community.”

“If seen do not approach him—report any sightings to authorities immediately,” the sheriff’s office said Monday.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office for an update on the search for McEuen.
