According to recent reports, Francisco Oropesa is the alleged perpetrator behind a mass shooting in Cleveland, Texas that claimed the lives of five neighbors, including a young child, on April 28, 2023. Although initial reports identified him as Francisco Oropeza, law enforcement officials have clarified that his name is spelled as Oropesa in their databases.

Oropesa, who is 39 years old, is a citizen of Mexico, as confirmed by San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers in an interview with Fox News Digital. The FBI has issued a warning on April 30, urging the public not to approach Oropesa if spotted, as he is considered armed and dangerous. Authorities have also asked anyone with information about his whereabouts to contact the San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office at 936-653-4367.

In addition to the previous information, the FBI has shared on Twitter the latest pictures of Francisco Oropesa, featuring a distinctive tattoo on his left forearm. The agency has also emphasized that moving forward, Oropesa’s last name will be spelled correctly as “Oropesa” to ensure accuracy in law enforcement systems. The investigation is still ongoing and subject to change as more information becomes available.

Francisco Oropesa was last seen wearing jeans, a black shirt, and work boots, with a goatee and short black hair.

The San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Department issued a news release on April 29, 2023, stating that they were investigating a mass shooting incident in the Trails End area of Cleveland. The release confirmed that the incident occurred in the 100 block of Walters Road and that the San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office investigators were working on the case.

1.Based on reports, the incident involving Francisco Oropesa began with a harassment complaint, which prompted deputies to respond to the scene. After arriving, they discovered multiple victims who had been fatally shot. It’s been reported that one of the victims had asked Oropesa to stop shooting his rifle, which may have led to the violent escalation of the situation.

As reported by Fox News, the victims in the Cleveland mass shooting were Oropesa’s neighbors. They were shot after one of them asked him to stop shooting his rifle late on Friday, citing that a baby was trying to sleep. According to ABC 13, Oropesa used an AR-15 rifle in the shooting.

San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers mentioned in a press conference that Oropesa was known to shoot his rifle in his front yard, which was evident from the shell casings found there. This suggests that Oropesa had a history of using firearms in his residential area.

According to CNN, the victims had approached the suspect’s fence and asked him to stop shooting in the yard because they had a young baby trying to sleep. The suspect, who had been drinking, responded by saying that he would do what he wanted in his front yard.

As per the press release, deputies were initially dispatched to the location for a harassment complaint, but 911 calls reporting an active shooter incident were received while they were en route. Upon arriving at the residence, multiple victims were discovered deceased, while several others were found in critical condition with multiple gunshot wounds.

The press release stated that Allegiance Mobile Health arrived on the scene and requested an air medical helicopter to transport a pediatric patient to a nearby trauma center. The release did not provide further details about the child’s condition or identity.

2.According to reports, Francisco Oropesa is accused of shooting the victims in the head during the mass shooting in Cleveland, Texas. Some of the victims reportedly shielded young children with their bodies as the shooting occurred. It is a tragic and heartbreaking detail that highlights the bravery and selflessness of those who lost their lives in the incident.

It is alleged that Oropesa walked up to the front door of his neighbor’s house and began firing his weapon during the mass shooting in Cleveland, Texas. This action resulted in the death of multiple victims, including a young child, and left several others critically injured. The motive behind the shooting is not yet clear, and the investigation is ongoing.

During the press conference, Sheriff Greg Capers stated that all of the victims in the Cleveland, Texas mass shooting were from Honduras. Deputies found one female victim at the front door, another inside the front door, a male victim inside the living room, and two victims inside the bedroom. Ten people were inside the house during the shooting, including three younger children. Capers further explained that when deputies arrived, they found two females in the bedroom laying over two of the children, which helped them survive the shooting. It is a tragic and heartbreaking incident that has left many in mourning.

Sheriff Capers stated that there were three female victims and one male victim in the Cleveland, Texas mass shooting. He also confirmed that the victims were shot in the head and the shootings appeared to be almost execution-style.

After the incident, the Montgomery County SWAT team arrived to help and cleared several properties near the crime scene. They determined that the shooter had fled the county. Authorities continue to search for the suspect and urge anyone with information to contact the San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office.

3.The victims of the Cleveland, Texas mass shooting include an 8-year-old child, as well as three adult victims. According to reports, all of the victims were from Honduras and some had recently moved from Houston. They were all found deceased inside the home where the shooting occurred, except for three children who survived. The surviving children were found hiding in the closet. Authorities have not released the names of the victims.

It is a tragic incident that has left multiple people dead and others injured. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to determine the motive behind the shootings. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the victims during this difficult time.

4.According to the same news release, “the suspect is a resident of San Jacinto County, Texas and is originally from Mexico. He has a criminal history, but the Sheriff’s Office would not elaborate on the charges or when they were filed.”

The release adds that “investigators located several firearms at the suspect’s residence” during a search warrant execution.

To clarify, it was not the victims’ residence from which the firearms were confiscated, but from the suspect’s residence. The authorities confiscated “a shotgun, two rifles, including the .223 caliber rifle used in the shooting, and a pistol from the suspect’s residence.”

Thank you for the update. It is a tragic event. My condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims.

5.According to San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers, the suspect in the shooting, Francisco Oropesa, had previously been warned about shooting his rifle in his yard. In a press conference, Capers said that Oropesa “has been known to shoot” his rifle “out in the front yard which is evident” from the shell casings that are laying in the front yard.” One of the victims had asked him to stop shooting his rifle, saying that a baby was trying to sleep, before the shooting occurred. It is not clear if Oropesa faced any legal consequences for his previous behavior.

According to San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers, the suspect had been warned by deputies about shooting his rifle in his yard in the past. Capers said in a press conference, “He has been known to shoot out in the front yard which is evident from the shell casings that are laying in the front yard… Deputies have come over and spoke with him about him shooting his gun in the yard, so we’ve had dealings with him in the past.”

Thank you for providing this update. It is important to note that the FBI is now involved in the investigation and is assisting the San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office in the search for the suspect. The Sheriff’s Office remains the lead investigative agency, and all questions regarding the investigation should be directed to them. It is unclear at this time what specific role the FBI is playing in the investigation, but their involvement could suggest that the case has national security implications or that they are providing specialized resources and expertise to help with the investigation.
