LATEST: Authorities recover weapon that may have been used in Texas mass shooting, Chief Deputy Sheriff Tim Kean says. Other arrests have been made in the case, he says, but declines to say how those people were involved.
May 3, 2023, 7:32 AMLaw enforcement search for the suspect a few miles from the scene where five people, including an 8-year-old child, were killed after a shooting inside a home, April 29, 2023 in Cleveland, Texas.Francisco Oropesa, the man accused of gunning down five people in an "execution-style" mass shooting in Cleveland, Texas, has been taken into custody after a multiday manhunt, officials said.
"This thing is finally wrapped up," Chief Deputy Sheriff Tim Kean said in a press conference early Wednesday. The tip for the suspect's location came in through the FBI tip line, FBI assistant special agent in charge Jimmy Paul said. Reward money will be given to the person who called in the tip, officials said. It wasn't immediately clear how much the person would receive. The total reward increased to $100,000 earlier Tuesday, after the U.S. Marshals announced a contribution of $20,000 on top of $25,000 from the FBI, $50,000 from the state and $5,000 from Multi-County Crime Stoppers.
