On 8/28/2025, numerous law enforcement agencies engaged in a manhunt after Lucas Stevens for “felony warrants.” The pursuit began when a Texas Highway Patrol officer attempted to stop 31-year-old Lucas Stevens in Longview due to active felony warrants. Stevens fled at high speed, crashed after crossing railroad tracks, and carjacked another vehicle. He continued through Gladewater, Big Sandy, and the Pritchett community in Upshur County, allegedly breaking into multiple homes, stealing firearms and UTVs, and killing a homeowner’s dog. A manhunt continued overnight as authorities determined he had moved into Smith County. He was first sought at one residence, then located at a second home off FM 2767 near the Gregg County line. Stevens barricaded himself inside, communicated with investigators, refused to surrender, and was later found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
