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

Officials said 38-year-old Francisco Oropesa was arrested in the city of Cut and Shoot, Texas on Tuesday evening.

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

The days-long manhunt began after Oropesa opened fire on his neighbors last week. He killed 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; and Julisa Molina Rivera, 31.
