The inconceivable reason for the act of violence: shortly before, neighbors are said to have asked him at the garden fence to stop his shooting in his front yard so they could sleep.

According to San Jacinto County police, the man went into the neighbor's house and shot four people. One person later died at a hospital. The victims reportedly ranged in age from 8 to about 40 and were from Honduras.

The man executed his victims with an assault rifle (AR-15). A total of ten people are said to have been in the family home. However, county Sheriff Greg Capers stated that no one was injured of the remaining five people.

Depressing: As Capers further explained, two dead victims were found lying on top of two children - they had still thrown themselves protectively in front of the little ones before the perpetrator pulled the trigger.

The perpetrator was already known to the police.

After the argument at the garden fence, the perpetrator is said to have replied that it was his property. According to U.S. media reports, one of the people in the house then filmed the man showing up at the family's front door with his rifle.

According to authorities, the perpetrator is already known to police: Sheriff Capers shared that officers had recently been to the man's home for firing shots in his yard. In addition, he had been notorious for emptying entire magazines in front of his house.

Police requested assistance from surrounding counties in their search for the perpetrator. The suspect is said to be Francisco Oropeza, a Mexican national.

After just the first few months of 2023, the U.S. is heading for a dismal record. The " Gun Violence" site has documented 13,716 gun violence victims since the beginning of the year. That's already close to the annual total for 2018 (14,943). In 2020, 20 200 people died from firearms, according to the site.
