US media reported that a Texas man suspected of killing five people just because they complained about the noise his gun was making was arrested and taken into custody on Tuesday.
The suspect, a Mexican national identified as Francisco Oropesa, has been taken into custody, CNN reported, citing two police sources.
He is accused of opening fire Friday night at a house in Cleveland, near Houston, killing five people, all from Honduras, aged between 9 and 31.
The 38-year-old man was arrested in Cut and Shoot, Texas, less than 30 kilometers from the site of the massacre, San Jacindo County District Attorney Todd Dillon told NBC. Since 2009, the man has been deported from the US four times.
More than 250 local and federal cops have been looking for a suspect in this gun-ridden state in the American South for days now.
Authorities offered an $80,000 reward for information that would help identify this “monster,” as FBI agent James Smith called it.
The FBI was expected to hold a press conference along the way.
