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.

If Polk had stayed in Mexico City we could have annexed the damn country and made something out if it but instead he turned around and left.

They always pull that card. They claim that the US can’t treat their citizens like that. Biden and the State Department will roll over and let them get their way.

They need to do to him what Dean Martin said in ROUGH NIGHT IN JERICHO.

“Lock him up. We’ll hang him tomorrow right after the trial.”

You’d think with the blistering rise in technology over the past few years, that human kind would find it easier to tell whether a person is a man or a woman, not more difficult. It seems we are regressing in some ways, like in having common sense.

Then we should send every mothers' son of them back.

Of course. losing that major source of Mexico's income, untaxed US dollars being wired across our southern 'border', might also not be to their liking either...

If he’ll agree to transition to a woman

If he's convicted, I volunteer to "transition" him with a KaBar and a bottle of bourbon.

Yes, I’m aware of the second meaning, but the first is far more interesting. ;-)

And US will apologize and ask forgiveness for causing any inconvenience to Mex and send them more aid. And then we pat ourselves on the back and call ourselves “home of the brave”. And the world rolls over with laughter.
