Multiple agencies are exhausting all resources searching for 38-year-old Francisco Oropeza after he is accused of walking into his neighbor's home and shooting multiple people, including an 8-year-old boy, in the 100 block of Walters Road in the Trails End area of Cleveland, just about 45 miles north of Houston.
According to the homeowner and survivor, Wilson Garcia, Oropeza was reportedly drunk and shooting his AR-15 gun outside on his front porch. Garcia said he asked for Oropeza to be quiet due to his 1-month-old baby trying to sleep inside. "We had company. We were going to make something to eat, the guy, came out and he was shooting. We asked him to be quiet 'cause my baby was scared," Garcia said via a translator.
Garcia said that they told Oropeza that they were going to call the police, but before they could, Oropeza walked to the front door and shot Garcia's wife, 25-year-old Sonia Argentina Guzmán Taibot, where she was standing.Garcia also said that Oropeza shot at him multiple times but missed.Authorities responded to the shooting at about 11:30 p.m. and found several people shot.
