COLDSPRING, Texas — A court in East Texas sentenced a four-time deported illegal alien to life in prison without the possibility of parole after he pleaded guilty to the murders of five Honduran migrants near Cleveland, Texas, in April 2023. The Mexican national pleaded guilty to Capital Murder in exchange for the sentence.
San Jacinto County District Attorney Todd Dillon said the plea resolves all of the cases that came out of an incident on the night of April 28, 2023, when Francisco Torres Oropeza murdered five of his neighbors. Dillon said the plea will ensure that Oropeza will remain in the custody of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice until his death.
Following the murders, Oropeza led police on a five-day manhunt that involved hundreds of state, local, and federal law enforcement officers.
Breitbart Texas reported extensively on the case and was in the courtroom in August 2023 when Oropeza entered his not-guilty plea.
