The arrest was made in the town of Cut and Shoot, Texas, a federal law enforcement source told CNN. Cut and Shoot is roughly 17 miles west of Cleveland, Texas, where the killings took place.    Francisco Oropesa, 38, is accused of carrying out the massacre Friday night after he was asked to stop shooting his rifle near a neighboring home, officials have said. Investigators had initially started tracking Oropesa using his cellphone but said that trail went cold Saturday evening. The suspect was \u201ccaught hiding in a closet underneath some laundry,\u201d San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers told reporters Tuesday. \u201cThey effectively made the arrest; he is uninjured; and he is currently being taken to my facility in Coldspring.\u201d    FYI: &#8220;Authorities arrest a man near Conroe in eastern Montgomery County,&#8221; according to Storyful, many are speculating that the man in the second clip appears to be the incarcerated murder suspect. The viral clip was posted to an &#8220;I love Conroe&#8221; Facebook group by Javier Esparza, with the footage captioned, &#8220;They got him!&#8221; Further examination into the identity of the man in handcuffs is currently underway via newsroom@storyful.com.
