Texas mass shooting suspect found hiding in closet, his partner also taken into custody: Police

Francisco Oropeza, the man accused of gunning down five people in an "execution-style" mass shooting in Cleveland, Texas, was taken into custody Tuesday evening after a multiday manhunt, officials said.

Oropeza, 38, was apprehended at a relative's house in Montgomery County, about 20 miles from Cleveland, uninjured and without incident, authorities said.

He was "caught hiding in a closet underneath some laundry," San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers said at a news conference.

"I believe he thought he was in a safe spot," Chief Deputy Sheriff Tim Kean said.

Oropeza's partner, Divimara Nava, was also detained at the scene where the suspect was found, San Jacinto County District Attorney Todd Dillon said at a news conference Wednesday.

Nava allegedly provided "him with material aid and encouragement -- food, clothes -- and had arranged transport to this house," Dillon said. She's charged with hindering the apprehension of a known felon. Authorities said that Nava appeared to be cooperating with investigators as recently as Sunday, but now, authorities say that was all a ruse.

A second person, a friend who allegedly helped Oropeza hide, was also taken into custody in San Jacinto County, authorities said.

Authorities also recovered a weapon that may have been used in the shooting, Kean said, adding that officials were waiting for ballistics information.

The tip for the suspect's location came in through the FBI tip line, FBI assistant special agent in charge Jimmy Paul said.

"We just want to thank the person who had the courage and bravery to call in the suspect's location," he said.

Reward money will be given to the person who called in the tip, officials said. It wasn't immediately clear how much the person would receive. The total reward increased to $100,000 earlier Tuesday, after the U.S. Marshals announced a contribution of $20,000 on top of $25,000 from the FBI, $50,000 from the state and $5,000 from Multi-County Crime Stoppers.
