Texas shooting: Family speaks with FOX 26 after deadly mass shooting in Cleveland

The manhunt for Francisco Oropesa, 38, continues after he is accused of gunning down five people including an 8-year-old child. FOX 26's Shelby Rose spoke with family members who were inside the home about the moments that led up to that deadly mass shooting.

Residents as well were on high alert as the search continued with neighbors speaking with reporters on the condition of anonymity due to fear he'd come back to the area. 

Officials also shared Oropesa's previous criminal history noting he had run-ins with the U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement. In fact, investigators described the 38-year-old as a Mexican national who had been in the U.S. "illegally" for years. 

SUGGESTED: Family members inside home share moments leading up to shooting

For example, ICE officials said Oropesa was deported four times before on March 17, 2009, September 2009, January 2012, and July 2016. Additionally, authorities say Oropesa was convicted of a DWI in Montgomery County in January 2012, which prompted his third deportation from the US.

No other persons or suspects are said to be in custody as of this writing. 

Oropesa will be charged with five counts of murder with a $5 million bond.
