An arrest warrant has been issued for him and a judge has assigned a $5m bond. He faces five counts of murder.<\/p>\n
Mr Capers said the suspect used an AR-style rifle in the shooting.<\/p>\n
There were 10 people inside the house and no one else was injured, Mr Capers said.<\/p>\n
On Saturday night, authorities widened the search area to a 20-mile (32km) radius as Oropeza – who was likely armed – had been on the run for more than 18 hours.<\/p>\n
Clothes and a phone were found by officers combing a rural area with areas of forest but tracking dogs had lost the scent.<\/p>\n
Two of the victims, who are all believed to be from Honduras, were found lying over two children inside.<\/p>\n
“The Honduran ladies that were laying over these children were doing it in such an effort as to protect the child,” Mr Capers said.<\/p>\n
The victims were identified as Sonia Argentina Guzman, 25, Diana Velazquez Alvarado, 21, Julisa Molina Rivera, 31, Jose Jonathan Casarez, 18, and Daniel Enrique Laso, 8.<\/p>\n
As part of the hunt, officers found clothes and a phone while looking in a rural area that included forest, but police admitted tracking dogs eventually lost the scent.<\/p>\n
Mr Capers said the confrontation came after family members walked up to the fence and asked the suspect to stop shooting rounds.<\/p>\n
The suspect responded by telling them it was his property, according to the sheriff, and one person in the house took a video of the suspect walking up to the front door with the rifle.<\/p>\n

Authorities had previously been to the suspect’s home, according to the sheriff.<\/p>\n
“Deputies have come over and spoke with him about him shooting his gun in the yard,” Mr Capers said.<\/p>\n
Rene Arevalo Sr, who lives a few houses down from the scene, said he heard gunshots around midnight but didn’t think anything of it.<\/p>\n
“It’s a normal thing people do around here, especially on Fridays after work,” he said. “They get home and start drinking in their backyards and shooting out there.”<\/p>\n
The incident occurred days after\u00a0nine people were injured at a shooting\u00a0<\/a>during teenagers’ party in western Texas.<\/p>\n Two weeks ago\u00a0four young people were shot dead<\/a>\u00a0during a 16th birthday party in Alabama.<\/p>\n Firearm incidents are the top cause of death for US children and teenagers, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and<\/p>\n Prevention.<\/p>\n Source: bbc.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
