HOUSTON – The body of a young man who was reported missing last week was found with a deadly gunshot wound in southwest Houston Sunday afternoon.
According to Sugar Land Police, Trevion Butler was reported missing Thursday.
His body was found four days later near an abandoned apartment building in the 2700 block of Grand Fountains Drive near Buffalo Speedway.

Flores said at that moment, he had discovered the young man’s body.
