Angry man kills five people after neighbour politely asked him to stop shooting in his garden

Officials in Texas said that a man used an AR-15-style rifle to kill five of his neighbours, including an eight-year-old after the family asked him to stop shooting in the man’s garden.

After the shooting overnight in Cleveland, a community 45 miles north of Houston, the Cleveland sheriff informed The Washington Post that a search was being conducted to locate 39-year-old Francisco Oropeza.

The newspaper was informed by Greg Capers, the sheriff for San Jacinto County, that Mr Oropeza had been charged with five counts of murder.

Ten family members were there when the shooting happened. Three women, a man, and a boy were killed between the ages of eight and about forty. The family’s other members were uninjured.

Although their names have not yet been made public, it is believed that all of the deceased were from Honduras. According to Mr Capers, two of the women were found in a bedroom lying on top of two children in an apparent effort to protect them.

He declared, “It’s horrible. The blood, the trauma that occurred in that house, and this scene should never have been seen by anyone. Although their names have not yet been made public, it is believed that all of the deceased were from Honduras.

According to Mr Capers, two of the women were found in a bedroom lying on top of two children in an apparent effort to protect them.

“The neighbours walked over and said… ‘Hey man, can you not do that, we’ve got an infant in here trying to sleep’ or whatever,” Mr Capers told the Washington Post.

“They went back in their house and then we have a video of him walking up their driveway with his AR-15.”

The shooter fled after the killings but was believed to be about two miles away from the home Saturday morning, according to the sheriff. A warrant for his arrest has been issued.

The sheriff’s office had previously been to the suspect’s home to speak to him “about him shooting his gun in the yard,” according to Mr Capers.
