Alleged Texas gunman continues to evade intense manhunt

Days after a mass shooting in Cleveland, Texas, that left five people dead, officials say they are very few leads for the whereabouts of Francisco Oropesa. There is also confirmation from Immigration and Customs Enforcement that the alleged gunman had been deported four times between 2009 and 2016. NBC’s Sam Brock reports for TODAY.

"Thank god it wasn't my family."

My god, what a terrible sequence of words to hear

[americanhomeownerwithajob]

"Illegal who illegally acquired a firearm and murdered other illegals"

Title fix

If he’s been deported 4 times that means that’s where he’s from and he’s probably got some kind of ties back in whatever country that is. My guess is he’s back in Mexico with someone he knows

[davidsallade]

My prayers and condolences go to that poor man who lost his wife and son. Hearing his cry made me cry. He is not alone.

This is one swift smart hombre. He’s out smarted the entire police team and the fbi with all their technology. He even made their dogs look lazy. They should be embarrassed. All that tax money they wasted or spent and they can’t catch a fly with a parachute net. Just sad they should all quit. Whoever is leading the hunt should be ashamed to do a interview.

The Suspect is obviously somewhere where he's able to eat and sleep. he might have taken over someone's house and killed the occupants. Let's pray he didn't. 🙏

This monster is in Mexico already… but even in Mexico they can still catch him just will take a little longer … prayers for the family

[maryogar]

May be across the border by now. Prayers for the families 🙏😢

[nataliecampbell]

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families affected. My condolences

[TheInfiniteRabbitHole]

He is making a fool out of all the authorities I see… 😂

[johnhunter]

I don't understand why law enforcement never do anything when people call about individuals firing weapons when drunk. A nephew of mine called the Hidalgo County Sheriff's department several times a few months ago about a neighbor firing a weapon multiple times in the air and they were always on their way but never got there. The shooter finally went inside his home several hours and several hundred rounds later.

[USABeauboy]

Probably drove straight to border the same night

[keara]

He’s definitely not in the United States anymore

[Apogge_kings]

That man is a coward to allow his wife and kids to confront the gunman as he ran away. Yes I am calling him out for being a total coward

[hoffrun]

In the country illegally for a few years, kicked out a few times previously. Had a house, had a we are casual about immigration we end up with casualties.

[leohodappsr.]

I wonder why the suspect was deported 4 times?

[christianemontazer]

He will be found… that coward can’t hide forever… don’t deport him… give him the death penalty 🤬

[terryanderson]

He might have been devoured by wild animals already.

[buzz]

Dude went under ground, lets see if DAWG The Bounty Hunter can flush him out.

[alexandersupertramp]

This dude is long gone back in Mexico. I’d be surprised if they ever find him.
