CLEVELAND, Texas — -- Authorities are continuing the search for the suspect connected to an"execution-style" shooting that killed five family members in Texas, including an 8-year-old boy.
Three minors who were found uninjured but covered in blood were transported to a local hospital, authorities said. Two of the female victims were discovered in the bedroom lying on top of two surviving children, authorities told ABC News.Oropesa is still on the loose and likely armed with an AR-15-style rifle. He is a"threat to the community," FBI Houston field office agent James Smith told reporters during a press briefing on Saturday.
The massacre went from a case of harassment to a shooting very quickly, Capers said. All of the victims were shot from the neck up,"almost execution-style," Capers told KTRK. Four of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene. The youngest, an 8-year-old boy, was declared dead after being transported to the hospital, police said.Shell casings were found in Oropesa's front yard, police said.
Neighbor Veronica Pineda told KTRK that she had grown accustomed to neighbors shooting firearms in the area. Authorities believe they have the weapon used in the attack, a .223 rifle, but do not know if Oropesa is carrying a smaller weapon, Capers said.
