The suspect, a Mexican national identified as Franciso Oropeza, has been taken into custody, CNN reported, citing two law enforcement sources. He is accused of having opened fire in the night from Friday to Saturday inside a house in Cleveland, near Houston, killing five people, all from Honduras and aged 9 to 31 years old.
The 38-year-old man was arrested in the Texas town of Cut and Shoot, less than 30 miles from the crime scene, San Jacinto County District Attorney Todd Dillon told NBC.
More than 250 local and federal agents had been looking for the suspect for several days in this state in the southern United States where firearms abound.
The authorities had offered a bounty of $80,000 for any information leading to the location of this “monster”, as FBI agent James Smith called it.
The FBI is scheduled to hold a press conference at 8:30 p.m. (3:30 a.m. in Switzerland on Wednesday).
