A mass shooting in San Jacinto County overnight Friday ended with five dead including an 8-year-old and the suspect is believed to be the next-door neighbor of the victims.

A manhunt is currently underway for Francisco Oropeza, 38. Authorities said the man had been shooting his rifle in his yard, and a neighbor asked if he could stop because they had a baby that was trying to sleep inside. The sheriff’s office said the suspect told the victims he would do what he wanted.

San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers said they were able to identify Oropeza through his Mexican consulate card and a doorbell camera. Capers said they have had previous calls to Oropeza’s home regarding him shooting his rifle in the yard.
