Trevion Butler, a 19-year-old Houston man, reported missing on November 16, 2023, was reportedly found dead in the 2700 block of Grand Fountains Drive in southwest Houston.
According to Sugar Land Police, Trevion Butler, last seen on Grands Fountain Drive in Sugar Land, where he lived, reportedly disappeared on November 15, prompting his concerned mother, Andrea to file a missing person’s report the next day.
At the time, in an impassioned plea posted on Facebook, Andrea Butler, a Realtor at Keller Williams Southwest, asked anyone with information on her son’s whereabouts to contact her, adding that foul play was suspected in his disappearance. She wrote:
“Please call if you know of anything. Suspected foul play & please call if you have seen or heard from my baby.”
However, on Sunday, November 19, Andrea announced that her son had been found dead two days after the 19-year-old was reported missing.
