Multiple people have been arrested in connection with the Texas man accused of fatally shooting five neighbors Friday and then evading authorities during an extensive manhunt that concluded when officials arrested him Tuesday about 20 miles away.
U.S. Marshals, U.S. Border Patrol’s tactical unit and the Texas Department of Public Safety arrested Oropesa about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, about an hour after an anonymous caller sent a tip to an FBI hotline, officials said. San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers said the suspect was found “hiding in a closet underneath some laundry” but did not provide details of whose home he was at or whether others helped conceal him while hundreds of law enforcement officers conducted a manhunt.
The person who tipped off law enforcement to Oropesa’s whereabouts was not among those arrested, Kean said. “If a neighbor calls, by the time we get there, they know how long it takes, the guns are put up, everybody’s in the house, and now we see no violation,” Kean said.
