Officials had been searching for Francisco Oropesa, 38, since Friday night when he allegedly shot his neighbors in Cleveland, Texas, after one asked him to stop firing rounds in his yard.
A person believed to be the man accused of killing five of his neighbors with an AR-15 rifle in their Texas home was apprehended by law enforcement agents Tuesday, an official said.
A person believed to be Francisco Oropesa, 38, was arrested in the city of Cut and Shoot, Texas, San Jacinto County District Attorney Todd Dillon said.
Authorities are awaiting fingerprints to confirm the person arrested is Oropesa, Dillon said. He has been taken to the Montgomery County Jail and is charged with first-degree murder, he said.
The FBI said it was planning a news conference Tuesday evening about the case.
If confirmed to be Oropesa, the arrest brings an end to the sprawling search that involved more than 250 law enforcement officers, the FBI and a reward of $80,000 for information.

I assumed this creep would be in Mexico now. If this was California I am sure he would be released with no bail. In Texas, probably not.
Partner, we are hoping that he gets a lethal injection but they should bring up the electrical chair.

How about my home town, Grand Forks? Not as dramatic as others, but it’s where the Red River and the Red Lake River split.

He must have been staying with someone who turned him in for the 80K!!!Yep, dropped a dime on his rear, and it turned into $80,000. That’s capitalism. 👍😊😆😀🤗

Fortunately he did t make it back to Mexico. Heard on the news today that he had rated on the cartel at some point to save his own skin. So that was not an option.
No big deal they can get to him in a Texas prison in about an hour.

”Gun Barrel City, Texas". Since your screen name indicates you’re from TX, I’m sure you know that has 2 meanings. One is the common understanding of the part of the firearm the bullet travels upon firing the cartridge. The second meaning is from the oilfield for the part of the production tank storage system that causes produced water to separate from the oil.

I dunno. Shooting a 9 YO in the back is something the cartels are used to doing. They’ve killed whole villages, families from GGrandma to babies, skinned people alive, beheaded hundreds...
Imagine how many cartel gunmen and cheap thugs are wandering around the USA today?

And Mexico will lodge a protest if he is given the death penalty. And then they won’t cooperate with the US on other wanted criminal matters.

Ummm, it should be easy to identify him. He supposedly has a very large tattoo on his left forearm. That should give you a clue.

And Biden’s going to send troops to help escort more cartel killers into our country! Troops will be there merely to process the invaders, not stop them.
I cannot believe what is happening, and there’s no resistance.
It’s treason, pure and simple.

Could have been Truth or Consequences, NM. Rough and Ready, CA. Unalaska, AK. Slaughter Beach, DE. Enigma, GA. Maybe this is where the Germans got the name for their code machine? 😆🤗 Sweet Lips, TN. There are others. 😆👍 What about Intercourse, PA?
