A four-day manhunt to locate Francisco Oropesa, a 38-year-old mass shooting suspect, who allegedly killed five of his neighbors last month, ended after a tip provided his location.
Francisco Oropeza, 38, was arrested Tuesday, four days after the shooting late Friday in the town of Cleveland, San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers said. He said Oropeza was found hiding in the closet of a home, under a pile of laundry, after investigators acted on a tip.
Francisco Oropeza, 38, was apprehended near the town of Conroe, some 20 miles (32 kilometres) north of Houston and close to his home in the small hamlet of Cleveland
