NextImg:Police apprehend suspect in Texas shooting that left five dead

Police arrested a suspect in connection with a mass shooting in Cleveland, Texas, that left five dead.

The arrest of Francisco Oropesa, 38, was confirmed in a press release from the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department.

"On Tuesday, May 2, 2023, at about 7:00 pm, Francisco Oropesa, who was wanted in connection with shooting that occurred in Cleveland, Texas, was taken into custody in Montgomery County without incident," it said. "We would like to thank all local, state, and federal agencies who collaborated in this effort."

A posted wanted sign for a mass shooting suspect is shown Tuesday, May 2, 2023, in the neighborhood where the shooting occurred Friday, in Cleveland, Texas.


Oropesa is accused of taking an AR-15 rifle and shooting five family members "execution-style," including a nine-year-old, on Friday night after the neighbors asked him to stop shooting his gun in the backyard because they were trying to sleep.

Montgomery County Sheriff Rand Henderson told the Associated Press that Orosepa was arrested near Conroe, roughly 20 miles from the site of the shooting. The five-day manhunt had grown to include 250 people from multiple jurisdictions. Oropesa had been deported four separate times prior to his arrest.
