NBC reports the end of the four-day manhunt for Francisco Oropeza, the man suspected in the murder of five people–including an nine-year-old child–in Cleveland, Texas on Friday after the family asked him to stop firing his assault rifle because their daughter was trying to nap. Officials believe they have the man in custody and are awaiting fingerprint confirmation.
Oropeza was caught in Cut and Shoot, Texas, a town about forty miles north of Houston. MSNBC reports Oropeza’s now-ex-wife filed for a protection order against him in 2020, but the court order was never enacted by her.
