The Texas man accused of killing five of his neighbors in the rural town of Cleveland last week was arrested on Tuesday after a four-day manhunt, authorities said.
Greg Capers, the San Jacinto county sheriff, said that Francisco Oropeza, 38, was arrested less than 20 miles (32km) from Cleveland. Law enforcement arrested him about an hour after someone called the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s tip line, according to Jimmy Paul, assistant special agent in charge with the FBI’s Houston division.
