More than 200 local and federal police were looking for this suspect, a Mexican identified as Francisco Oropeza, in this state in the southern United States where firearms abound.
Considered armed and dangerous, he “can be anywhere”, warned during the weekend the sheriff Greg Capers, in charge of the investigation, during a press briefing.
Authorities have offered an $80,000 bounty for any information leading to the location of this “monster,” as FBI Special Agent Jams Smith called it.
The 38-year-old gunman is suspected of opening fire Friday night into Saturday inside a home in Cleveland, near Houston, killing five people, all from Honduras, aged 8 at 31 years old.
According to local authorities, he was practicing shooting in his garden when neighbors asked him to stop the noise so that a baby might sleep.
In response, the suspect allegedly entered his neighbors’ home and shot, “execution-like, essentially in the head” of several residents, Sheriff Capers said.
This news item aroused strong emotion in the United States and in Honduras, a small country in Central America where the young victims were from.
On Sunday, Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott posted a tweet, condemned by his opponents, in which he called the victims “illegal immigrants”.
The United States has more individual weapons than people, and they cause more than 130 deaths a day, more than half of which are suicides.
