Arlington, Euless police investigating after missing man is found dead from gunshot wound

Police in Arlington and Euless are investigating the slaying of a man who was found dead two days after he was reported missing.

Arlington police said Friday that a relative of 22-year-old Younis Alhassinyani reported him missing from his Arlington home on Tuesday after he didn’t respond to phone calls or text messages.

On Thursday, Texas Department of Transportation employees found Alhassinyani’s body in a culvert near the 900 block of the southbound State Highway 360 service road in Euless, near East Harwood Road and about 15 miles from his home.

The Tarrant County medical examiner’s office determined that he died from a gunshot wound to his neck.

Police said they were investigating the Alhassinyani’s death as a homicide and that it’s possible his body was moved to the culvert after he was killed.

Anyone with information about the case may contact Arlington police Detective Grant Gildon at 817-459-5691 or make an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers at 817-469-8477.
