FBI says they have ‘zero leads’ in hunt for Texas gunman who fatally shot neighbors
The Hill ^ | 05/01/2023 | JULIA MUELLER

The FBI in Houston has said investigators have “zero leads” in their search for a Texas man who allegedly shot and killed five people, including an 8-year-old.

“I can tell you right now, we have zero leads,” James Smith, the FBI special agent in charge, told reporters.

Francisco Oropesa, 38, fled after the shooting on Friday night and is considered armed and dangerous. The FBI and local authorities have jointly offered up $80,000 in reward money for information that could lead them closer to the suspect amid a multi-agency search.

The FBI has circulated photos of the suspect but warned that he should not be approached.

San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers said after the shooting that “he could be anywhere now.”

They should try employing the techniques they used to hunt down the 100’s of Jan 6 protesters.

A story I read says he is a “Mexican national”. Can that be translated to “illegal alien”?

“Back across the border into mehico.”

I heard his sister is getting married later this year, so I’m sure he’ll come back for that, and maybe even stay a bit.

"The FBI in Houston has said investigators have “zero leads” in their search for a Texas man who allegedly shot and killed five people, including an 8-year-old."

The shooter allegedly being an illegal alien that highlights the invasion coming across the southern border would have nothing to do with that of course....

No schlitt.

25+ million illegal aliens in the country = no leads.

Its OK though. The Left loves chaos.

“Back across the border into mehico.”

Most likely could be there now or at least on the way. I would be careful at trucks stops between Cleveland and the border. Another less likely thing is that he somehow is headed to San Houston National Forest or The Big Thicket to hide out. Both not that far from Cleveland. But I doubt he has the skills or knowledge for that.

isn’t this about the time interval that the fbi says: “ he was on our radar, but we didn’t see him as a threat”

I would check Alexandria Occasional-Cortex’s campaign office in New York City.

He had been deported several times and just boomeranged, so he must have connections. He ditched his traceable phone and clothes that dogs to track by. He’s a pro, maybe even a cartel operative.

That would make sense only if their major purpose was to protect the American public and not the deep state.

Did the NKVD or KJB look for perps who murdered mere citizens?
