execution-style continued to elude an army of law enforcement hunting for him outside Houston over the weekend.
Complaints about gunfire in the past, he said, were easily addressed, as Oropesa would move to another side of his property. San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers acknowledged previous reports of gunfire, which he said might not have been illegal, depending on the size of his property. On Saturday, searchers found the suspect's cellphone and some of his clothing before scent-tracking dogs lost his trail, authorities said.
On Sunday, Capers vowed to give the search his full attention as adjacent agencies, the Texas Public Safety Department, the FBI, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives joined the hunt.A vigil was underway Sunday afternoon for the youngest victim, Capers said Sunday that his"heart is with" the little boy who died."I don’t care if he was here legally. I don’t care if he was here illegally. He was in my county. Five people died in my county, and that is where my heart is — in my county protecting our people to the best of our ability."Reward money for information leading to the apprehension of the suspect was boosted by a $25,000 pledge from the FBI, amounting to $80,000 total.
