Authorities offered a whopping $80,000 reward for information that leads to the capture of the gunman accused of killing five people in Texas and who was reportedly in the country illegally and previously been deported.
The FBI acknowledged Sunday it had “zero leads” in its search for suspect Francisco Oropesa who is considered armed and dangerous.
He’s accused of killing five people, including an 8-year-old boy Friday night with a rifle before quickly fleeing.
“What we need from the public is any type of information, because right now we’re just we’re running into dead ends,” James Smith, the FBI’s special agent in charge, said during Sunday’s news conference.
“I can tell you right now, we have zero leads.”
In hopes of getting help from the public, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott put forward $50,000 in reward money with local officials and the FBI chipping in another $30,000 for any critical intel.
“We’re asking everyone for your help so we can bring this suspect – or monster, I will call him -– to justice,” Smith said.
