Younis Hussain Alhassinyani was 22 and from Arlington, Texas. He was reported missing February 2, 2021; his body was found February 4, 2021 in a culvert near a creek by the State Highway 360 service road in Euless. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound to the neck and foul play was suspected.

Police say Alhassinyani visited his girlfriend, Erika Perez, on the night of February 1, 2021 for a tattoo session. Court records allege he was forcibly tattooed with Perez’s name on his neck and another tattoo on his back was inked out. The next day he called family asking for a ride home but never arrived; his family reported him missing when he stopped responding to calls and texts.

Authorities arrested Erika Perez and three others — Benjamin Delgadillo, Pedro Angel Rodriguez, and Justin Jaxs Salinas — on charges that include aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated kidnapping, filing a false police report, failure to report a felony, and capital murder. A fifth suspect was being sought and detectives asked the public for information. If anyone knew Younis or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know with investigators.
