Texas shooting suspect remains elusive as authorities offer reward

Who is Francisco Oropeza, the man suspected of killing five people in Texas over the weekend? According to reports, the 38-year-old had no criminal record to speak of, and was known to his neighbors as a quiet family man. Two miles of woodland near Cleveland, Texas, are currently being searched by more than 250 officers, who are using drones, dogs and ATVs in the hunt for Oropeza. However, police say they have received "zero leads" in the case. The next-door neighbor of the suspect had reportedly complained about the noise caused by Oropeza firing his .223 rifle in his front yard for hours on Friday. The complaint came in to the police in San Jacinto County at 10.15pm. Just over three hours later, officers were called back to the neighbor's home, where they discovered that five people, all of whom were Honduran, had been shot and killed on the property. The victims include an eight-year-old boy. The police say that the shell casings found at the scene are consistent with rifle commonly used by Oropeza.
