Cleveland, Texas, shooting suspect Francisco Oropesa was planning escape to Mexico, prosecutors say

The alleged gunman accused of killing five people last week in the Houston area was planning an escape to his native Mexico, prosecutors say.

Oropesa also showered and slept at the house outside the city of Conroe where he was arrested on Tuesday, while Lamar Nava got him donuts from a nearby store, a prosecutor said.  Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.

Authorities believe Lamar Nava was talking to investigators at the same time she was trying to help Oropesa, San Jacinto County District Attorney Todd Dillon said at a news conference. She initially told authorities she did not know where Oropesa was but later told a federal agent he showed up at the house about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, according to the prosecutor at the probable cause hearing.
