Authorities have finally apprehended the illegal immigrant suspected of killing five of his neighbors in a small town in southeastern Texas.

Officials have identified the suspect as 38-year-old Francisco Oropesa, who was arrested in the city of Cut and Shoot, Texas on Tuesday evening.

Oropesa has been charged with first-degree murder and has been booked into the Montgomery County jail.

The days-long manhunt began after Oropesa opened fire on his neighbors last week, killing five people including a nine-year-old boy. All of the victims were believed to be from Honduras.

The victims have been identified as:

• Daniel Enrique Laso, 9
• Jose Jonathan Casarez, 18
• Diana Velazquez Alvarado, 21
• Sonia Argentina Guzman, 25
• Julisa Molina Rivera, 31

More than 250 law enforcement officers aided in the search, and police offered $80,000 in rewards for any tips leading to an arrest.

This is a developing story.
