The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is offering a reward of up to 80 thousand dollars to anyone who provides information on Francisco Oropeza, the 38-year-old Mexican national identified as the alleged perpetrator of the massacre in Texas last Friday, April 28, where five Hondurans, including a minor, lost their lives.

According to official information from the authorities, the events occurred in Cleveland, in San Jacinto County, north of Houston. Last Friday night, the alleged murderer was practicing shooting in his front yard with his AR-15 rifle when one of his neighbors asked him to stop because it was late and he was trying to put a baby to sleep.
