'I told my wife, 'Get inside. This man has loaded his weapon,' Garcia said. 'My wife told me to go inside because 'he won't fire at me, I'm a woman.''
People in their rural town north of Houston are used to people firing their weapons to blow off steam, but it was late Friday night, and Garcia had a month-old son who was crying.
Garcia called the police after Oropeza rejected his request. The man shot some more, and now it sounded louder. In the neighborhood of homes on 1-acre lots, Garcia could see the man on his front porch but couldn't tell what he was doing. The gunman walked up to the home and began firing. Garcia's wife, Sonia Argentina Guzman, 25, was at the front door, and the first to die.

Greg Abbott put up $50,000 in reward money and local officials and the FBI also chipped in, bringing the total to $80,000 for any information about Oropeza's whereabouts.
Authorities were able to identify Oropeza by an identity card issued by Mexican authorities to citizens who reside outside the country, as well as doorbell camera footage. He said police have also interviewed the suspect's wife multiple times.
