The incident started as a harassment call to the sheriff’s office just after 11:30 p.m. Friday night at a home on Walter Drive in the Trails End subdivision.

Capers said the ages of the victims range from 8 to 40 years old and that they’re all from Honduras. We’re told four people were dead at the scene and that the 8-year-old died at the hospital. Three others were found covered in blood inside the home, but none of them were injured.

Investigators said the shooter, 38-year-old Francisco Oropeza, was confronted by neighbors and asked to stop shooting because they had a young child who was trying to sleep. Oropeza responded by saying he would do what he wants on his property.

Capers said Oropeza escaped the area after the shooting. Several guns were recovered from his home by a SWAT team.

“The suspect…we don’t believe him to be in the area,” Capers said. “He’s at least 10 to 20 miles away from here.”

Capers said Oropeza was known to shoot his rifle in the front yard and that they’ve had numerous calls to the area. The sheriff’s office said he has been charged with five counts of murder.
