Officers said they’ve been unable to find a gunman who fled after killing five people in a rural Texas town, offering $80K in total reward money in hopes of motivating someone to come forward with information about the suspect’s whereabouts.
Capers said the suspect responded by telling them that it was his property. Doorbell camera video captured him walking up to the front door with a rifle.
“We’re looking for closure for this family,” said Capers, who said he hopes the reward money will “be a good motivator” to encourage someone turn the suspect in. Capers said there are plans to alert the public to the reward money in Spanish billboard ads. “It’s a normal thing people do around here, especially on Fridays after work,” Arevalo said. “They get home and start drinking in their backyards and shooting out there.”
Veronica Pineda, 34, who lives across the street from the suspect’s home, said authorities asked if they could search her property to see if he might be hiding there. She said she didn’t know Oropeza well but occasionally saw him, his wife and son ride their horses on the street and believes the family have lived there five or six years. Pineda said neighbors have called authorities in the past to complain about the firing of guns.
