Massive manhunt underway for gunman accused of killing 5 neighbors

Massive manhunt underway for gunman accused of killing 5 neighbors

By Emmanuel oduroPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

The man who

was accused of opening fire and killing

five of his neighbors

is still on the run.

Police say they are on the trail.

They're trying to find him,

but so far has run cold.

There's an $80,000 reward,

though, that is being offered

to help track down.

38 year old Francisco a pacer

who the shooting happened on Friday night

in the city of Cleveland, Texas.

It's about an hour north of Houston.

According to the sheriff's office

there, or a patient had been drinking

and was shooting a rifle in his yard

when his neighbors asked him to stop

because a baby was trying to sleep.

The sheriff says the suspect

then went to the neighbor's house

where he shot the victims.

Everybody that was shot

was shot from the neck up

almost Execution-style

and basically in the head.

Five people were killed

including a nine year old.

You see him right there.

Nine year old Daniel Enrique lost

to Guzman and his mother, Sonia.

Both of them murdered.

The child's

father says he called 9115 times

to report the suspect shooting his gun.

They just have with me who they know.

Yeah,

that was my nine year old son

and my wife to be

in

and two people who died protecting my two

and a half year old daughter.

Amelie,

my one and a half month old son

was protected with a lot of clues

so the killer wouldn't kill him, too.

I said, no, no, Wow.

The sheriff said

his team got there

as fast as they could,

but said

because the force is small and covers

the county at large,

the whole thing,

officers did not get there fast enough.

Our chief law enforcement

and intelligence analyst John

Miller is with us now.

It is so, so tragic.

It was extraordinarily sad.

And it's a sign of what

we're seeing these days.

I think it really is

also the fact

that they cannot find this guy.

They don't even know

if he's in the country.

Well, he's he's from

Mexico, has contacts in

Mexico, is in Texas,

could have fled to Mexico.

You know, he did this terrible act

and then fled into the woods

near his home.

They found clothes.

So, you know, he's thinking

there's going to be tracking dogs

and bloodhounds.

They found his phone.

So he's

anticipating that law enforcement

would be looking for a signal.

So this is someone who has

some skills and,

you know, they have a challenge.

And what does that look like?

I mean, they're offering this

$80,000 reward.

The fact that they can't find him.

No. What else do they do?

So that looks like a lot of things.

You know, if you think back to the

the Olympic Park bomber

who fled into the Nantahala

National Forest.

Eric Robert Rudolph.

1997.

He hid there for years undetected

as a fugitive,

being sought for by

hundreds,

sometimes thousands

of law enforcement people.

But he planned every bombing carefully

and he planned his escape carefully.

This is a spontaneous incident

out of anger and a spontaneous escape.

There's no plan behind this

except running.

So given his resources and background

and given

you've got the FBI involved

you've got the U.S.

Marshals, you've got the sheriff,

you've got money on the street,

you have informants

from the criminal world,

you've got an $80,000

reward for the public

The complicating factor

is if he made it into Mexico,

not not a game ender, complicating

you have zero leads. What do you do John?

You do one of two things.

One,

you could increase the reward,

but if you have $80,000

and you have zero leads,

it's probably not about the money.

It's about increasing

community engagement

to get people to talk.

And I mean, this is

if there was any case ever

that should generate

community engagement,

even in a community

where people might be reluctant

to talk to the police.

This should be the DEAL-BREAKER there.

Yeah.

Just so concerning is we're seeing

this bigger pattern of this

snap aggression.

And we'll have more on that

I know to come.

So keep us updated.
