CLEVELAND, Tex. – Police in Texas are still searching for the man they believe shot and killed five people, including a 9-year-old boy, Friday night.
Officers believe 10 Hondurans were in a neighboring home to that of 38-year-old Francisco Oropesa, who had a habit of shooting his gun whilst out in his yard.
When they asked him to stop shooting Friday, he instead entered their home and began targeting the people with an AR-15-style gun. San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers says police have footage of an armed Oropesa approaching the home.
Apparently, the neighbors had made their request because a baby was trying to sleep. It seems that two of the victims – both adult women – died using their bodies to shield two children, who did survive.
The victims have been identified as:
25-year-old Sonia Argentina Guzman
21-year-old Diana Velazquez Alvarado
31-year-old Julisa Molina Rivera
18-year-old Jose Jonathan Casarez
9-year-old Daniel Enrique Laso.
