Fox News revealed that Francisco Oropesa, 38, the man suspected of murdering five execution-style in Texas, is in the country illegally. He’s also been deported from America five times:
Oropesa was in the country illegally at the time of the shooting and had previously reentered the country illegally “multiple” times following his deportations, another ICE source told Fox News Digital.The source added that Oropesa was last encountered by ICE in 2016.DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press” on Sunday that he wouldn’t “comment” on Oropesa’s immigration status after Todd said there was a question about him having a “consulate card, meaning he was here legally, but perhaps he had overstayed?”Mayorkas replied, “I won’t comment on it because it is an active case. The tragedy that occurred is … just absolutely horrific.”
Unfortunately, authorities do not have any leads. They have a reward for information on Oropesa:
The FBI said Sunday afternoon authorities have “no leads” in the search for Francisco Oropesa, 38, a Mexican national who is accused of the quintuple murder in Cleveland, Texas, outside Houston.The Texas governor’s office, state agencies and the FBI are offering a combined $80,000 reward for tips leading to his capture.”We do not know where he is, that’s why we’ve come up with this reward,” FBI Houston Special Agent in Charge James Smith told reporters on Sunday, adding that he’s sure Oropesa has contacted friends since becoming a fugitive, but they need to know who.
On Friday, Oropesa allegedly killed five people after one of them asked him to stop firing his gun outside of his home.
The victims are: Sonia Argentina Guzman, 25; Daniel Enrique Laso Guzman, 8; Diana Velazquez Alvarado, 21; Julisa Molina Rivera, 31; and Jose Jonathan Casarez, 18.
The house had ten people. Three children were not hurt.
