– A man accused of killing five neighbors in Texas after some of them complained that gunfire was keeping a baby awake was indicted Friday on a capital murder charge that could carry the death penalty.
“I think it’s a little too early for us to make that call,” San Jacinto County District Attorney Todd Dillon said. Police say Oropeza stormed into his neighbor's house on April 28 after being asked by his neighbors to stop firing his AR-style rifle because a baby was trying to sleep.The shooting happened in the rural town of Cleveland, about 45 miles north of Houston. Police say Oropeza fled the neighborhood after the shooting, setting off a widening manhunt that came up empty for days despite more than 250 officers, drones and scent-tracking dogs searching and $80,000 in reward money being offered.
