$80,000 reward for Francisco Oropesa, suspected killer of Honduran family in Texas

Texas authorities still do not know the whereabouts of Francisco Oropesa, suspected of murdering five members of a Honduran family on Friday night in the town of Cleveland, located in San Jacinto County.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), along with other agencies, is offering a reward of $80,000 for anyone who provides information that leads to the arrest of Oropeza, 38, who allegedly killed four young people and a 9 year old boy.

“There are more than 250 law enforcement officers, from more than a dozen agencies, actively searching for Oropesa,” the FBI Houston said on Twitter. "The agencies will not rest until he is captured and justice is done on behalf of the 5 victims."

"Our hearts go out to the families and loved ones of the five victims who were killed in this senseless act of violence," Governor Greg Abbott said in a statement. "I continue to work with state and local officials to ensure they have all available resources to respond to this horrific crime."

Abbott thanked the men and women of law enforcement who "have been working tirelessly to ensure that Oropesa is caught and brought to justice."

The FBI Houston released images of the fugitive and said he has a "prominent tattoo on his left forearm."

Authorities identified the five Honduran victims who were shot to death Friday in Cleveland: Sonia Argentina Guzmán, 25; Diana Velázquez Alvarado (21 years old); Julisa Molina Rivera (31 years old); José Jonathan Casarez (18 years old); and Daniel Enrique Laso Guzmán (9 years old), who was airlifted to a hospital where he later died.

A warrant has been issued for Oropesa's arrest on five counts of murder. His bail has been set at $5 million.
