An illegal immigrant from Mexico who had been previously deported multiple times is the suspect in the killing of a family from Honduras and is currently on the run from a large law enforcement manhunt.
San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers told reporters they had Francisco Oropesa’s consulate card, which linked him to the shooting. Police say Oropesa shot five of his neighbors with an AR-15, including an 8-year-old boy, after they asked him to stop shooting on his property late at night.
The victims in the shooting are Sonia Argentina Guzman, 25; Diana Velazquez Alvarado, 21; Julisa Molina Rivera, 31; Jonathan Casarez, 18; and Daniel Enrique Laso, 8.
